LP 'Tres Marias' File Bill vs. Obesity, Diabetes and Heart Disease

With my fellow Liberal Party of the Philippines (LP) Tres Marias — Reps. Cielo Krisel Lagman (1st District, Albay) and Arlene “Kaka” Bag-ao (Lone District, Dinagat Islands), we filed House Bill No. 5003 championing Filipinos’ right to health by improving the tax policy on sweetened beverages. A significant portion of the revenues from this measure, once enacted, will be allocated to programs that address malnutrition, including access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene.

Hindi lang po ito isang economic measure o pagpapataas ng kita ng gobyerno, kundi pamumuhunan sa kalusugan at nutrisyon ng ating mga kababayan, lalo na ng mga bata. Isa itong makabuluhang hakbang para maiwasan ang obesity, diabetes, sakit sa puso, at iba pang karamdaman na maiuugnay sa sweetened beverages.

Para sa kalusugan, nutrisyon at de-kalidad na serbisyo para sa mga Pilipino, pass HB 5003 now!
