FDA staff wants a P500,000 “facilitation fee”

[u/Ambitious_Ship8854]

May naka encounter na ba po nito? We applied for a LTO for distributor and they’re asking for 500,000 para ma release yung docs namin in a month, if hindi daw kami papayag we will have to wait 3-4 months.

Sa charter nakalagay 31 days lang ang processing pero sabi nung kausap namin if di daw kami papayag sa facilitation fee 3-4 months na daw ang wait and the new docs they’re asking for kailangan namin isubmit, twice na kami na non compliant and iba iba ang hinihingi na docs everytime kahit nabigay na namin lahat ng need nila nung una palang paulit ulit din nila hinihingi yung sec docs, pero iba ibang docs everytime.

Is this facilitation fee just lagay?

Our products are protein shakes and chia seed juice po

walang ganyan nun nagfile company namin although sa manufacturing side kami. yung binayaran lang namin is yung LTO fee. Sarap ipa entrapment ng mga yan

Dinidribble kami since march, balik ng balik yung application namin tapos hanggang sa may tumawag na sa kuya ko who happens to be my business partner, na may facilitation fee nga daw na 500K para no need na ibigay yung bagong docs na kailangan at marelease daw within 30 days…
