1. Pharmaceutical and Health Care Association v. Health Secretary, G.R. No. 173034, 09 October 2007
Milk Code
The equal protection of the law clause does not demand absolute equality amongst residents; it
merely requires that all persons shall be treated alike, under like circumstances and conditions both as to
privileges conferred and liabilities enforced; and, that the equal protection clause is not infringed by
legislation which applies only to those persons falling within a specified class, if it applies alike to all
persons within such class, and reasonable grounds exist for making a distinction between those who fall
within such class and those who do not.

then the statute must be upheld because it represented an exercise of the police power which, being
inherent could not be bargained away or surrendered through the medium of a treaty.
