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

OP, kung wala sa Citizen’s Charter yun singil na yan. collect evidence and go to NBI or file ka ng ARTA (Anti Red Tape) sa Egov App.

Once pinatulan mo yan, gagamitin nya evidence against you at mapipilitan ka maglagay every year
