STATEMENT OF SENATOR WIN GATCHALIAN ON DOH PROPOSAL TO TAX SALTY FOOD SUCH AS DAING, INSTANT NOODLES, JUNK FOOD, ETC.

Garbage in, garbage out. If we feed our children junk food, expect their junk-like health condition. Junk food has zero nutritional value. Taxing junk food will discourage our children, and adults alike, from consuming food that will impair their health.

As to other salty foods such daing and instant noodles, that should be studied very carefully. Daing is the main livelihood product of many of our provinces such as Cebu and Zamboanga del Sur. Instant noodles is the typical go-to meal of many of our blue collar constituents.
