Two manufacturers of automotive components, Voltix Components and IronWheel Industries, sign a written agreement on November 1, 2026. They (i) fix the wholesale price of a component 'TorqueBrake B' at PHP 420 per unit nationwide; (ii) allocate markets by distribution channel—Voltix will supply only to government procurement channels in Luzon, while IronWheel will supply private automotive retailers in Visayas and 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. The companies defend the arrangement as necessary to ensure supply to government programs and prevent price wars. Identify the per se violation(s) implicated by these facts under Section 14 of RA 10667 and name the acts.
