ARTA
ARTA made the statement following President Duterte’s directive to set up a green lane for faster permit processing of local COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers to reduce dependency on imported jabs.
In a statement, ARTA Deputy Director-General Ernesto Perez said one of the aims of the JMC that they are crafting is to standardize the documentary requirements, steps, and processing time for the applying companies during the pandemic.
“We will implement those processes and permits under an emergency, without of course sacrificing the safety features of the COVID-19 vaccine we are envisioning to be manufactured in our own country,” he said.

THE HOUSE Transportation Committee started discussing on Friday two proposed measures seeking to regulate the charges imposed by international shipping lines.
Transportation Committee Chairman Edgar Mary S. Sarmiento said it was “urgent” to hear the two bills filed with his committee because of rising shipping costs.
House Bill No. 4316 filed by Bagong Henerasyon Party-list Rep. Bernadette Herrera-Dy seeks to regulate the application of fees charged at origin and destination by shipping companies.
House Bill No. 4462 filed by Ang Probinsyano Party-list Rep. Ronnie L. Ong seeks to empower the Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) to ensure fairness and transparency in shipping charges levied by forwarders and agents of international shipping lines.
