CEBU, Philippines - The Department of Health has issued a three-year moratorium on its administrative order mandating the licensing of massage therapists.

The moratorium was issued to give ample time for the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) and DOH to harmonize the government's program for massage therapists in the country.

The moratorium took effect last month and will stay in place until December 2017.

Consul Robert Lim Joseph, secretary general of the Philippine Organization of Wellness Establishments and Resources, told The Freeman the DOH must have taken the organization’s opposition to the administrative order.
