On May 26, 2026, PCIR Sub-Working Group 3 held a virtual meeting, led by Engr. Gretchen F. Enarle, Industry lead for SWG3 and assisted by Ms. Geraldine Buela of the Board of Investments, to discuss key regulatory reform initiatives aimed at easing business processes.

The group focused on streamlining the FDA policy on Household Use Hazardous Substances (HUHS), where implementation deadlines were extended to June 2026. It was also reported that the FDA improved accessibility through portal upgrades and the establishment of new action centers. Stakeholders, including PPCAI, provided data to support the regulatory review, leading to a final moratorium extension with directives to revise or discard current rules.

Concurrent efforts included reviewing the Implementing Rules and Regulations for the PNP’s controlled chemicals policy, with industry consultations and draft submissions planned through 2025 and 2026. The group also prepared for upcoming discussions on COMELEC’s “Gun” Ban resolution and addressed customs concerns such as product composition requirements.

These efforts demonstrated strong progress toward regulatory simplification, enhancing competitiveness and facilitating business growth through improved government-industry collaboration.
