Its mission is to ensure the safety, efficacy, purity, and quality of processed foods, drugs, diagnostic reagents, medical devices, cosmetics and household hazardous substances through state-of-the-art technology, as well as the scientific soundness and truthfulness of product information for the protection of public health.1 The Food and Drug Administration of the Philippines (Filipino: Pangasiwaan ng Pagkain at Gamot, or FDA, formerly the Bureau of Food and Drugs or BFAD) was created under the Department of Health to license, monitor, and regulate the flow of food, drugs, cosmetics, medical devices, and household hazardous waste in the Philippines. The FDA's main goal is to ensure the health and safety of food and drugs made available to the public.Republic Act No. 9711, an act strengthening and rationalizing the regulatory capacity of the Bureau of Food and Drugs by establishing adequate testing laboratories and field offices, upgrading its equipment, augmenting its human resources complement, giving authority to retain its income, renaming it the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), ameding certain sections of Republic Act No. 3720, was signed by President on August 18, 2009. The same law puts more teeth into the law enforcement capability of the agency by integrating the regional operations under a single directorate. A law enforcement unit will also be established under every regional office that has functions, powers, and responsibilities similar to the NBI and the PNP. Tying all the projects of together is a spirit of efficiency, transparency and collaboration. He believes in an agency of mature regulators that knows when to deregulate. He considers industry as both an ally and a ward - salient rules and regulations make for easy compliance. At the core of his leadership is a certainty that a strong, effective yet responsive FDA will ensure the health of Filipinos as their vanguard

HOW DOES BFAD PROCESS CONSUMER COMPLAINTS? Consumers are advised to coordinate with the nearest Department of Health Center for Health Development (CHD) for product complaints. If the Acting Consumer Arbitration Officers deem it fit that the complained product needs laboratory analysis, the product will be forwarded to the BFAD Laboratory Services Division.

In accordance with the mandate of EO 29 for the CAB to adopt EO 29's Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) within thirty days upon its effectivity, the CAB adopted EO 29's IRR during its meeting on May 02, 2011, after public consultations with aviation stakeholders. What is covered by E.O. No. 29? E.O. No. 29 covers all development airports or gateways that are outside Manila. Therefore, the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, which includes all of its terminals, is not included or covered by the said E.O.
