Dear Maam:

Greetings!

With the implementation of Administrative Order No. 2007-0027 dated August 22, 2007 Re: “Revised
Rules and Regulations Governing the Licensure and Registration of Clinical Laboratories in the
Philippines, where all clinical laboratories are required to participate in an External Quality Assessment
Scheme (EQAS) administered by the Lung Center of the Philippines, the designated NRL for Clinical
Chemistry. As such, the Clinical Laboratory of Bindoy District Hospital participated in the 2012 External
Quality Assessment Scheme for Clinical Chemistry (EQAS-CC).

It was stated in your letter that a Certificate of Registration (COR) will be released to our laboratory after
registration. Since the Certificate of Registration will be the documentary requirement for the renewal
of our license to operate, we submitted the following to NRL-CC:

1. Original copy of fully accomplished Registration Form (complete with all the required fields).
2. Photocopy of our latest License to Operate.
3. Original copy of Order of Payment.
4. Machine-validated Transaction (deposit) Slip since payment was made via bank to bank
transaction.

To date, we only received a Certificate of Participation, a letter informing us that we have been
registered as a participant to the 2012 EQAS for Clinical Chemistry, and another letter inviting us to
participate again in the 2013 EQAS for Clinical Chemistry. Unfortunately, we have not received any
Certificate of Registration which we badly needed for the renewal of our License to Operate. We humbly
ask for your immediate attention regarding this matter.

Very truly yours,

Trifony D. Luchana, MD
Chief of Hospital I
