The event aimed to evaluate the agency’s performance during the first semester and propose catch-up plans to accomplish targeted activities within FY 2024.
“Let us all be reminded that the outcome of this activity is instrumental on our strategy as we go to the last half of the year. I hope that whatever deficiencies and lapses we encounter in the first semester, we learn from them and use them to our advantage,” Dir. Julieta Lansangan said during her opening remarks.
As of June 30, 2024, the agency issued 12,211 regulatory documents (including product registrations, permits, certifications, and licenses), of which 11,454 (93.80%) were issued within the specified timeframe. The FPA also visited 11,493 fertilizer and pesticide handlers, monitored 76,180 fertilizer and pesticide products, and issued 358 Notices of Violations (NoVs) and Stop Use, Move, Sale (SUMS) orders.
On financial accomplishments, the agency obligated Php108 million, with Php63 million allocated for personnel services and Php45 million for maintenance and other operating expenses.
Other activities included presenting the FY 2025 DBM-approved budget level, SPMS-DPCR Rating for the 1st and 2nd Semesters of 2023 and discussing the review of target physical indicators.
“This activity provides the FPA with an opportunity to thoroughly assess its performance by evaluating program and activity outcomes, analyzing organizational strengths and weaknesses, and identifying areas for improvement. Ultimately, this promotes a strategic approach to enhancing organizational effectiveness and development,” Ms. Oliveros, head of the Planning, Management and Information Division (PMID) said. ###
