PAGASA was invited to the Supplier Summit of 2015 on 6 July at the Grand Ballroom of Solaire Hotel & Casino at Aseana City in Pasay.  This Summit brings to Philippine shores the major global suppliers of Philip Morris-Fortune Tobacco Corporation to discuss illicit trade of cigarettes which affects up to one-third of the total income of this industry (in the Philippines alone).  STC was invited to sign the “Commitment Pledge” Board as one of the convenors of this Summit given the retailers’ commitment to carry only legitimate goods from legal manufacturers (PMFTC is the top payer of taxes in the Philippines).
