The website Sin tax for Health reports the following in their website:
Both government officials and concerned non-government organizations have complained about an alleged news blackout on the Sin Tax debates being held in the Senate. Supposedly, this is to keep compelling testimonies and the health issues surrounding the Sin Tax Bill out of the newspapers. A report by Ces Orena-Drilon quotes an official of Health Justice, an organization advocating the Sin Tax, as saying, “We…have information about actual feature articles and cover pages being sold to the tobacco industry.”
We don’t know what information they have, but we do know that whether or not this is true, we all have a loud enough voice to get the message out there: the Sin Tax is an Anti-Cancer Tax; it is a measure for the health of the nation.
