DOH urge the Eraserheads to junk their cigarette sponsor

Anti-tobacco organizations and the government especially the Department of Health (DOH) is urging and appealing to Pinoy band Eraserheads (Ely Buendia, Buddy Zabala, Marcus Adoro and Raimund Marasigan) to reject and cancel the sponsorship of cigarette manufacturers in their highly anticipated reunion concert this August 30.

A DOH official said that icon band like the Eraserheads must disassociate themselves from a cigar company.

Framework Convention on Tobacco Control Alliance-Philippines is asking the band to copy the recent act of Alicia Keys who rejected the sponsorship of cigarette giant Philip Morris for her concert in Indonesia.

Philip Morris confirmed that their company is sponsoring the reunion concert.
