Good Day Ma’am/ Sir,

I am a 5th year student from Centro Escolar University- Manila. My group members and I will be conducting an experimental research using turmeric as a variable. We would like to ask for a specimen identification/ authentication. The plant originated in Antipolo (pictures attached below). I would also like to know how long this would take to process and what the prerequisites will be.

Thank you very much!
