The PCC Hearing Part 1

Michael braced himself as the commissioners began to introduce themselves, one by one. These were the people who would determine the future of his company, and he knew they wouldn't go easy on him.

The lead commissioner, the older man with the graying hair, leaned into the microphone. "I am Commissioner Aurelio San Pedro, Chair of this panel. Let me introduce my colleagues."

Next to him, a woman with a stern expression and short, jet-black hair nodded briefly. "Commissioner Adela Bayani, focusing on economic impact and market regulation."

To her right, a younger man with a meticulously groomed beard introduced himself with a calm but sharp demeanor. "Commissioner Dante Villarosa, specializing in technology and corporate acquisitions."

Finally, the commissioner sitting farthest to the left, a serious-looking man with salt-and-pepper hair and glasses, added, "Commissioner Tomas Alcaraz, in charge of consumer protection and competition law."
