November 17, 2021 Dear Samantha Nicole Hermosa, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Nov 12, 2021 09:23:38 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. Your request You asked for Pest and Control Program. Response to your request While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance this Office does not have the information you have requested. Please be informed that FDA- Center for Cosmetics and Household Urban Hazardous Substances Regulation and Research (CCHUHSRR) does not regulate or monitor vermin control and vector control programs. The Center regulates the use of Household/Urban Pesticide products as well as the Pest Control Operators and Pesticide Handlers who may be hired to do the pesticide treatments (Administrative Orders No. 2019-0008 and 2019-0010). Unfortunately, CCHUHSRR has not yet issued the FDA circular that provides the implementing licensing, certification and accreditation guidelines for PCOs, Pesticide Handlers and Training Providers, respectively. Thus, PCOs are at the moment, not yet licensed by FDA, nor are pesticide handlers certified by FDA. It might be best to consult the Local Health Offices per Sanitation Code, for their mandate with respect to pest and vermin control programs of the localities. For further assistance you may review the FAQ section of the eFOI site: https://www.foi.gov.ph/help. Your right to request a review If you are unhappy with this response to your FOI request, you may ask us to carry out an internal review of the response by writing to Undersecretary Lilibeth C. David, Chair of Data Governance Oversight Committee/ DOH Central Appeals and Review Committee, at foi@doh.gov.ph.
