Caritas Manila wins in dispute over name

THE Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has decided in favor of the Catholic-run charitable organization Caritas Manila against a health maintenance organization with a similar name.

Caritas Manila, Inc., the lead social services and development arm of the Archdiocese of Manila, had filed a complaint against Caritas Health Shield Inc., a health care services provider, and asked the SEC to order the latter change or modify its corporate name.
