  • “Sin Taxes” and Health Financing in the Philippines
    C ASES IN G LOBAL H EALTH D ELIVERY GHD-030 OCTOBER 2015 “Sin Taxes” and Health Financing in the Philippines In April 2015, Dr. Enrique Ona stood before a diverse group of finance ministers from low- and middle-income countries at a finance leadership forum. The forum organiZers had invited him to serve as an “expert resource” during a session on the health and economic benefits of tobacco control. Ona had worked as a physician and seen the health effects of tobacco consumption before becoming health secretary of the Philippines, which had a very high smoking prevalence. Ona detailed to the ministers how the country had raised tobacco taxes after decades of opposition from the tobacco industry and allied politicians. The new legislation earmarked a majority of the revenues for health, enabling him to extend subsidiZed coverage under the government’s health insurance plan to all poor and near-poor Filipinos and invest in health facility upgrades. Although Ona had resigned from his post in late 2014, he remained concerned about the impact of the “sin tax” reforms on smoking prevalence and health care access. Could the initial decline in smoking be sustained long-term? Could the new revenues have the impact on national health that he hoped? Overview of the Philippines From the 16th until the late 19th century, the Philippines was under Spanish rule. During this time, Roman Catholic missionaries converted a majority of the population to Christianity, introduced tobacco farming, and built universities and hospitals.1 In 1898, Spain lost the Spanish-American War and ceded the islands to the United States (US; see Appendix for commonly used acronyms).2 In 1941, the US entered World War II, and Japan invaded the Philippines.

While the tobacco industry’s tactics Accepted: 6 June 2020 in Southeast Asia are well-documented, no study has systematically reviewed these tactics to inform tobacco control ePublished: 21 June 2020 policies and movements in Africa, where the tobacco epidemic is spreading. Methods: We conducted a systematic literature review of articles that describe tobacco industry tactics in Southeast Asia, which includes Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Myanmar, East Timor, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, and Brunei. After screening 512 articles, we gathered and analysed data from 134 articles which met our final inclusion criteria. Results: Tobacco transnationals gained dominance in Southeast Asian markets by positioning themselves as good corporate citizens with corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives, promoting the industry as a pillar of, and partner for, economic growth. Tobacco transnationals also formed strategic sectoral alliances and reinforced their political ties to delay the implementation of regulations and lobby for weaker tobacco control. Where governments resisted the transnationals’ attempts to enter a market, they used litigation and deceptive tactics including smuggling to pressure governments to open markets, and tarnished the reputation of public health organizations.

Neither the Schwarzenegger Administration nor the California Legislature sought to divert the Proposition 99 funding allocations, but continued the policy of the Davis administration to emphasize aspects of the California Tobacco Control Program that are not proven to be effective, such as school-based education programs, while moving slowly with those that are effective, particularly a strong media campaign. The Administration has continued to shift increasing amounts of funds from the Proposition 99 Research Account away from the Tobacco Related Disease Research Program to the Department of Public Health Cancer Registry, leading to marked reductions in funding for important and innovative tobacco control research.
