I WILL SHARE THIS KNOWLEDGE THRU MY EXPERIENCES. Starting August 2017 I will be posting, 1 post a day, on how to appreciate, understand, and comply to successfully implement R.A.9711 (FDA Act of 2013); AO No.153. s.2004 (Revised Guidelines on Current Good Manufacturing, Packing, Repacking, or Holding Food); A.O 2014-0029 (Rules and Regulation on the Licensing of Food Establishment) A.O.2014-0030 (Revised Rules and Regulations Governing the Labeling of Pre-packaged Food Products Distributed in the Philippines.

Why? Because we can only cry once (during the application of FDA' License to Operate and the corresponding CPR or Certificate of Product Registration).

Wealth is measured by ROA=Return on Assets that includes You as my asset to help me reach out to others.

The most severe findings were related to hypertyroidism disorder and heart problem. When my father was diagnosed with hypertyroidism the manifestation was the lost of appetite and weight with low energy level. According to some experts, hyperthyroid...
