Two manufacturers of electric vehicle batteries, VoltCell Power and AmpEdge Technologies, sign a written agreement on April 20, 2027. They (i) fix the wholesale price of a battery model 'E-Cell Max' at PHP 24,500 per unit nationwide; (ii) allocate markets by distribution channel—VoltCell will supply only to government procurement channels in Luzon, while AmpEdge will supply private automotive retailers in Mindanao; (iii) impose penalties on any distributor who sells outside the terms. A consumer group files a complaint with the PCC alleging price fixing and market allocation. Identify the per se violation(s) implicated by these facts under Section 14 of RA 10667 and name the acts.
