LIST OF ACCREDITED HALAL-CERTIFIERS IN THE PHILIPPINES

The long wait of the Islamic Community is over as the National Commission on Muslim
Filipinos (NCMF) accredited three (3) halal-certifiers in the Philippines, as follows:

1. Halal International Chamber of Commerce and Industries of the Philippines, Inc.

(located at: Unit 701 Jafer Place, Eisenhower St., Greenhills, San Juan City);

2. Mindanao Halal Authority (MINHA)

(located at: 3/F Dinopol Bldg., Osmea St., General Santos City); and

3. Muslim Mindanao Halal Certification Board, Inc. (MMHCB)

(located at: No. 2 Abdul Kadil Daod Apartment, Campo Muslim Drive,
Cotabato City).

With the accreditation of Halal-Certifiers, Halal compliance in the Philippines will be

strengthened and Halal industry will be developed. Halal is a purification rite mandated by
Islam in order to ensure that food is fit for consumption by its faithful.

The Department of Agriculture - National Meat Inspection Service (DA-NMIS) and

National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF) has been working together as
partners in the promotion and development of Halal Industry as an institution and more
importantly as a linkage to a long-term economic development of the country.
