CIVIL society organizations and former senior government officials are disappointed by the Department of Justice’s opinion that tobacco industry donations to the Department of Social Welfare and Development and other government agencies are “acceptable.”
A former Secretary of Health, Dr. Esperanza Cabral, said the opinion “detracts from the Philippines’ national and international commitments.”“Based on our international commitments and our own JMC, we should ban all forms of tobacco sponsorships and protecting against tobacco industry interference,” she added.
“We have to be careful not to open doors for the tobacco industry to corrupt our bureaucracy,” Dorotheo added.
