The Philippine Internet Commerce Society (PICS) is an advocacy group which promotes electronic commerce in the Philippines. It was founded in September 1997 by Janette Toral.[1]

It successfully lobbied for the passage of the Y2K Law, which made industries prepare for the year 2000 and guard themselves from "Y2K Bug" which was expected to compromise computer databases.[2] It also advocated for the Electronic Commerce Law or Republic Act 8792 which promoted the universal use of electronic transactions in the government and by the general public.[3]
