The Dev't. Academy of the Phils. (DAP) had invited PAGASA back in 2018 to review their (MGRP) Modernizing Government Regulations Program and find out if too much regulation was strangling the growth of the different industries including that of FMCG's. Interrupted by the pandemic, the DAP resumed the review in the morning of 17 October 2023 at their Head Office in Ortigas Center, Pasig. Focus of discussion centered on DTI's price control via their SRP system, indecisiveness by government when it comes to rules & regulations and its lack of development of the different industries leading to a void in self-sufficiency and food security. Consultation was done by DAP's Research Associate Janine Coleen D. de Villa and Supervisor Reuel Hermoso.
