President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has designated the
third Wednesday of June of each year as “National Pulmonary Rehabilitation Day” to further increase the public’s awareness of pulmonary rehabilitation as treatment for patients with chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs).
Proclamation 1104 tasked the DOH to lead the observance of National Pulmonary Rehabilitation Day and to coordinate with non-government organizations (NGOs) like the Philippine College of Chest Physicians (PCCP) and the private sector “to implement collaborative activities that promote pulmonary rehabilitation in the country.”

Amid misinformation about the health benefits of drinking milk to combat tuberculosis, the Philippine College of Physicians (PCP) and Philippine College of Chest Physicians (PCCP) Council on Tuberculosis would like to clarify that tuberculosis is a disease entity caused by: Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is transmitted through airborne droplets between people. Active TB disease, with susceptible strains, can be cured by a combination of a 4-drug regimen: isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol given over a span of 6 months. Milk supplementation supports bone health but is not an alternative to TB management. Delay of treatment can cause spread to other organs and other people, and may even lead to death.
PCCP commits to actively improve lung health in the Philippines and Asia through maintaining the standard of excellence in health care practice, education and research in pulmonary medicine.
By 2030,PCCP, as the acknowledged and leading authority in Pulmonary Medicine, sets the benchmarks of excellence in the country and is at par with international medical community.
