A federation of sugar producers has appealed to President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to set aside calls to allow industrial users to directly import their sugar needs as a concession to plans of increasing taxes on sugar sweetened beverages.
He added Diokno is reportedly bent only on raising taxes without thinking of its effects on the sugar farmers. “Is Diokno prepared to give livelihood to these five million industry stakeholders?” Lamata added. “We know President Marcos’ heart is with and for the farmers as he has told us so, and we are calling for his intervention on this matter,” Lamata said.Earlier, a consumer advocacy group echoed the opposition of sugar millers on Diokno’s recommendation to levy additional taxes on high-sodium food products and sugary drinks.
A report on June 21 by state-run news outfit Philippine News Agency quoted Diokno as saying the Department of Finance and the Department of Health “are jointly pursuing a junk food and sweetened beverage tax as a proactive measure to tackle diabetes, obesity and non-communicable diseases related to poor diet.”According to the report, the DOF plans to impose a P10 per 100 grams or P10 per 100 milliliters tax on pre-packaged foods lacking nutritional value.
According to Codog, “there are other ways to approach this problem without adding another burden to our people.”
