I can find no specific reference to Mrs. Marcos supporting breastfeeding, but it would be consistent with her claim that she will spend the Marcos Foundation money to eliminate world poverty (2006). One way of doing that is to promote breastfeeding, which the U.N. claims is a simple way to promote world health.
The Philippines Milk Code that promotes breastfeeding wasn't passed until 1986 by the Marcos' successor, Corazon Aquino. Breast milk substitutes (formula) were aggressively promoted in the country through that time. In 1981, a the Philippine code to regulate the marketing of formula in the country was drafted, an action that culminated in the Philippine Milk Code years later.
