Filipina Soul

Philip Morris to build tobacco warehouse in Subic

by Grace on February 24th, 2008

AHA! So that’s what they’re doing in our backyard!

anti-smoking-photo02 The American public is bombarded with the non-smoking campaigns everywhere, with no less than the cigar czar Philip Morris explaining the health effects of smoking on health. But I have always wondered whether that same message is spread outside of the Atlantic. As it turns out, the company is just selling its wares elsewhere.

Philip Morris is building a tobacco warehouse in Subic Pampanga, to produce…  Chewing gum? Duh - what else! There is even a cigarette plant in Tanuan, Batangas “to export Philippine-made cigarette products to Malaysia and Indonesia.”

Philip Morris already invested some $300 million for its Batangas facility, and will put in another P1-billion for the Subic site.

Good for the economy? Sure. Until it starts killing Filipinos.
