Subject: Prevent Tobacco Industry Participation
The Philippine government has a social obligation to place human health
and general well-being as top priority. (...)
The tobacco industry has declared war on public health. (...)
In view of this, you are hereby directed to take active measures to
prevent tobacco industry participation in any tobacco control initiatives
and social development programs of the Department. Support tobacco-free
sports, arts, cultural and other popular events through the phasing
out of sponsorships by tobacco companies.
