Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, May 11) – The Anti-Red Tape Authority issued on Tuesday a show-cause order against a Food and Drug Administration official for 600 drug applications pending in her office.
ARTA ordered FDA Center for Drug Regulation and Research (FDA-CDRR) Director Jesusa Cirunay to explain why the drug applications remain pending despite the complete submission of requirements by involved pharmaceutical firms.
The complaint stemmed from the 23 affidavits of several pharmaceutical companies which detailed the alleged delays committed by FDA-CDRR on their applications filed since 2014.

THE DEPARTMENT of Energy (DoE) said potential entrants to the downstream oil sector are no longer required to obtain an endorsement from the agency, which is currently pushing to simplify its permit processes.
Previously, interested firms were required to seek a DoE endorsement to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
“The DoE endorsement is no longer required for entities intending to put up a corporation engaging in the downstream oil sector, or amending their articles of incorporation,” the department said in an advisory Tuesday on its website.
“Only endorsements coming from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, Insurance Commission and other financial institutions are being required.”
