The Food and Drug Administration, in its commitment to provide stakeholders with streamlined and improved government services, is developing the FDA eServices Portal —online platform for FDA Market Authorization applications.

The FDA wishes to invite stakeholders located within the National Capital Region (Metro Manila) who intend to apply for License to Operate (LTO) as Drug Distributor, Drug Trader, Drugstore, Retail Outlet for Non-Presciption Drugs (RONPD) only, to use the FDA eServices Portal through this link: http://eservices.fda.gov.ph/. The eServices Portal is in its Pilot Implementation, hence the scope of the application is limited for the time being:
