Dear Ron,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Oct 22, 2020 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for Production of Nitroglycerin.

Response to your request

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance this Office does not have  the information you have requested. 

For importation data, you may want to inquire with the Bureau of Customs (www.customs). We regret that we cannot refer you to any agency re: sales and demand data as the information you need can be best obtained through the conduct of an independent research.  You may opt to pursue this by requesting for a list of SEC-registered firms engaged in the trading of nitroglycerin/glycerin.  Thereafter,  you will have to check for the sales info in their audited financial statements.  However, you may not find demand data, which is not a mandatory disclosure requirement.

Should you need additional clarification and the related fees and procedures, you may coordinate directly with our Ms. Ma. Theresa Bersabal ([email protected]).

For further assistance you may review the FAQ section of the eFOI site: https://www.foi.gov.ph/help.
