The day’s agenda featured discussions, with updates on the group’s efforts to improve interactions with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Philippine National Police’s Firearms and Explosives Office (PNP-FEO), and the implications of the Comelec Election Gun Ban for the industry. The Sub-Working Group also discussed the crafting of a position paper for the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), and the pressing concern of enforcing a 100% composition rule for chemical imports.

 

Ms. June Villasanta and Ms. Geraldine Buela, the dedicated Investments Specialists from the Manufacturing Industries Service, BOI, ensured the meeting’s seamless flow, providing essential support to the members. This meeting of leaders aimed to tackle the intricate challenges faced by the chemical industry and forge ahead with innovative solutions to bolster the nation’s economic landscape.
