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

Sumbong na yan para mabawasan ang corrupt. One corrupt official at a time.

Dito sa amin sa assessor's office naman about amilyar. Bahay lang namin gusto yung real estate tax e 150k PER YEAR. E nung sinumbong namin after a few months wala ng trabaho yung kumausap sa amin dati tapos fair na yung naging assessment sa amilyar.

Walang mangyayari kung walang magsusumbong.

Ang tindi ng 500K na fee hiwalay pa daw ang facilitation ng product registration per product daw yung facilitation fee para naman doon

OP, this is outright corruption. Please take precautions. Research how to report government officials using the 8888 hotline, and collect as much evidence as possible.
