Philippine Rice Research Institute(PhilRice)

February 16, 2021 Dear Nizam Cornelio, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Jun 09, 2020 09:44:13 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. You asked for ISO 7301 Codex Standards for Rice. We do not have a copy of the ISO 7301 Codex Standards for Rice, even at the PhilRice library. Our Rice Chemistry uses a different standard as it deals with pure varieities/lines meant for seed production, not for immediate consumption. You may please try requesting from the NFA instead. Your FOI request is approved. I enclose a copy of some of the information you requested. If you are unhappy with this response to your FOI request, you may ask us to carry out an internal review of the response by writing to Ms. Rosaly V. Manaois with email address: [email protected]. Your review request should explain why you are dissatisfied with this response, and should be made within 15 calendar days from the date when you received this letter. We will complete the review and tell you the result within 30 calendar days from the date when we receive your review request. If you are not satisfied with the result of the review, you then have the right to appeal to the Office of the President under Administrative Order No. 22 (s. 2011). Thank you. Respectfully, FOI Decision Maker PhilRice FOI Receiving Officer
