Published April 28, 2021, 2:45 PM Grants provided by foreign private organizations to sway the framing of Philippine policies and regulations are in violation of the Constitution and represent an assault on the country’s sovereignty, according to two lawmakers. This was the sentiment of Ilocos Sur 1st district Representative Deputy Speaker Deogracias Victor Savellano and Representative Jericho Nograles during a Congressional hearing on the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) receipt of foreign money to fund the crafting of regulations for non-combustible alternatives to cigarettes. “I called for this investigation to find out the truth.
