TO :
It has come to my attention that the increase in costs of dietetic milk by 25% has caused some complaints among our people. Although dietetic milk constitute only 8 to 10% of the entire milk consumption in the Philippines, it does represent a substantial portion which require immediate attention. You will therefore take immediate steps in order to bring down the costs of dietetic milk either through coordination in the cost of production or replacement and substitution of the raw material.

I also hereby direct the acceleration of our pilot project for the production of cheap milk for our people from coconut as it has been going on under my direction for several years now.

I have not received any report on this matter from the Secretary of Agriculture who is suppose to be supervising this project.

Submit such report immediately.

DONE in the City of Manila, this 30th day of August, in the year of Our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Seventy-Five.
