Nestlé Philippines continues to stand apart from others in the industry and support the Department of Health's revision of the rules and regulations regarding the marketing of infant formula.
In 2006 the Department of Health released a set of rules and regulations designed to ensure a stricter implementation of the Executive Order (51) which regulates such marketing.
 

The Pharmaceutical and Health Care Association of the Philippines (PHAP) went to the Supreme Court and obtained an order restraining the DoH from implementing its revised Executive Order governing the marketing of formula.

Nestlé is not a member of PHAP. Secondly, Nestlé has not joined the PHAP's complaint against the Health Ministry.

It is our policy to comply with the WHO's International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes as well with national regulations implementing the WHO Code when these are stricter.

We also support WHO's global public health recommendation calling for exclusive breastfeeding for six months and the introduction of safe and appropriate complementary foods.
