00:00Nais ni Sen. Wynn Gatchalian na gawing dalawang flavor na lang ang mabibilin vape sa merkado.
00:06Ito po ay para maiwasang mainganyo ang mga kabataan na gumamit ng vape dahil sa iba't iba nitong flavor.
00:13Saksi, si Mav Gonzalez.
00:18Chicken, waffle at lorian.
00:21Ilan lang yan sa mahigit 15,000 flavor ng vape na pinapaalis ni Sen. Wynn Gatchalian
00:26dahil nakakasama raw sa kalusugan, lalo na sa kabataan na pinaka na-i-enganyo rito.
00:31In the Philippines, from what we know, there are already more than 7,000 flavors in the country.
00:41Therefore, all of these flavors are really enticing our young to start into the vaping addiction.
00:50We are calling it an addiction because almost all these vapes contain nicotine.
00:58It will be very seldom na makakakita kayo ng walang nicotine.
01:02Sabi ni Gatchalian, may opinion na ang Department of Justice na dalawalang dapat ang flavor ng vape, menthol at original tobacco.
01:10Wala ng orange, wala ng strawberry, wala ng bubblegum, wala ng...
01:16Eh pero makikita natin, meron pa ngayon, no?
01:18We looked into the deliberations of the bicameral committee on this.
01:26And it's contrary to the DOJ opinion.
01:30Also, there's a Supreme Court decision stating that the DOJ opinion is still an opinion and not controlling.
01:41Kung kalusugan ang prioridad ng gobyerno, dapat ipatupad ang dalawang flavors sa vape.
01:46What we are trying to arrest right now is the increase of use of vape products among the young.
01:51We urge the DTI to comply with this DOJ opinion.
01:56We will revert, Mr. Chair, to the committee on the DTI position on the DOJ opinion.
02:04Dapat wala ng report, dapat comply na.
02:06Basa sa pag-aaral ng Food and Nutrition Research Institute o FNRI, mula 3.2% noong 2018, sumipa na sa halos 40% ang adolescents na gumagamit ng vape noong 2023.
02:19Ang masama pa raw, maraming vape sa merkado ang iligal o smuggled.
02:23We don't know what is the contents.
02:26Hindi natin alam kung anong talagang laman niya.
02:31So in other words, at 40%, we don't know what they are smoking.
02:34Because of the unregulated use of these vape products.
02:38And then, of course, with the flavors, the different flavors that are being available in the market.
02:46And the very extensive marketing that they're doing.
02:50And then, so because of this, we're seeing a shift of the prevalence of smoking using vapes.
03:00Pahirapan pa umano ang paghuli sa mga iligal na vape dahil sa bahay-bahay na raw ito'y binibenta.
03:05Recently, the BIR sees 81,000 illicit vape products unregistered and paid on taxes in a night raid sa isang bahay being used as a warehouse.
03:18So ganun na ho kalala.
03:20Kaya ho, hirap na hirap din ho ang government agency.
03:24Lalo na ho yung BIR na hindi naman traditionally nag-inforce.
03:28Kaya isa sa nakikitang solusyon ng ilang stakeholders para hindi na dumami pa ang gumagamit ng vape products, taasan ang buwi sa tobako at vape.
03:38Pero giit ng Senate Committee on Ways and Means.
03:40Para sa GMA Integrated News, Mav Gonzalez ang inyong saksi.
