Listahan ng mga ahensiyang pederal at mga institusyon na kasangkot o magkakaroon ng papel sa regulasyon ng H**p / Cannabis (industrial h**p, h**p-derived products) sa Pilipinas - kasama ang maikling papel nila.
---
Mga pangunahing ahensya at ang kanilang papel
1. Department of Agriculture (DA) — pangkalahatang tungkulin sa agrikultura, patakaran sa pagtatanim, agrarian permits at koordinasyon sa agribiz (maaari rin mag-involve sa h**p bilang crop kung legalisado).
2. Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI) — (under DA) — quarantine, phytosanitary clearances, import/export at plant health regulation (mahahalagang papel kung may pag-aangkat o legal na pagtatanim ng h**p). Kasama ang National Plant Quarantine Services (NPQS) sa aspetong transport/import ng planting material.
3. Philippine Fiber Industry Development Authority (PhilFIDA) — ahensiyang tumutok sa fiber crops (hal. abaca / “Manila h**p”); kung papasukin ang industrial h**p sa lokal na industriya, magiging stakeholder at regulator/advisor ito.
4. Department of Health (DOH) / Food and Drug Administration (FDA) — regulasyon ng mga produkto para sa kalusugan at pagkain (kung may CBD sa mga health/cosmetic/food products, FDA ang magtatakda ng registration/approval at babantay sa safety/labeling).
5. Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) — enforcement ng dangerous drugs laws (pagtukoy kung h**p/cannabis products ay ituturing na ipinagbabawal at enforcement laban sa illegal cultivation/trafficking).
6. Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB) — policy-making at regulatory guidance para sa droga, kabilang ang pagbuo ng mga mekanismo (tulad ng “seed-to-sale” tracking) na madalas binabanggit sa mga panukalang batas sa medicalannabis.
7. Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) — business registration guidance para sa MSMEs, product standards, consumer protection, at packaging/labeling trade rules; kalaunan ay may papel sa industriya at market development.
8. Bureau of Customs (BOC) — kung may import/export ng h**p raw material o h**p-based products, customs clearance at restricted/prohibited goods control.
9. Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) / Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) — environmental permits at waste/effluent regulation para sa industrial processing (fiber/chemical processing) ng h**p. (karaniwang kasali sa anumang industriya na may processing plants).
10. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) — corporate registration at oversight kapag ang negosyo ay incorporated (manufacturers, exporters, agribiz firms).
11. Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) — tax treatment ng h**p businesses, VAT, duties, at related tax compliance.
12. Department of Science and Technology (DOST) — research & development, material science (h**p fiber/plastics), tech transfer at P&D support para sa produktong pang-industriya.
13. Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) / TESDA — labor regs at vocational training/skills development (processing, fiber tech, manufacturing skills). TESDA para sa technical training programs.
14. Local Government Units (LGUs) / Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) — lokal na permits, zoning, local enforcement; LGU ordinances at permits papasok sa pagtatanim/processing operations.
15. Philippine National Police (PNP) / National Prosecution Service at Department of Justice (DOJ)** — pagsasampa ng kaso at pulis/enforcement kapag may illegal cultivation/trafficking; DOJ para sa legal prosecution.
16. National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) — macroeconomic policy coordination at pagsusuri ng pambansang epekto kung i-integrate ang h**p industry (posibleng stakeholder sa malakihang roadmap).
17. Agricultural Research Institutes / PhilRice / PCAARRD / ATI (DA-linked research/training bodies) — research at extension work kung ire-research at i-commercialize ang h**p bilang crop.
18. Department of Energy (DOE) 🌿⚡
Maaaring humalili ang DOE lalo na sa aspeto ng biofuel, biomass, at green energy, malaking papel ng H**p sa:
🔸 H**p biodiesel & ethanol – alternative fuels mula sa seeds at stalks
🔸 Biomass power generation – gamit ang h**p hurds bilang feedstock
🔸 Energy independence & rural electrification – lalo sa decentralized, community-scale setups

Ilang importanteng legal/policy notes
RA 9165 (Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002) — naglalagay ng mahigpit na regulasyon at ipinagbabawal ang cultivation/use ng Cannabis maliban sa very limited scientific/medical exceptions; kaya ngayon ang PDEA/DDB at RA 9165 ay sentral sa legal na katayuan.
May mga panukalang batas sa Kongreso (House/Senate bills) na nagmumungkahi ng medical Cannabis / H**p frameworks; kung sakali, magdadala ito ng bagong lead agencies o magpalinaw ng roles (madalas binabanggit ang DDB/PDEA/DA/FDA sa mga panukala).
