Authorities have “padlocked” P150 million worth of suspected smuggled agricultural products following a series of operations that targeted several warehouses in Metro Manila, the Bureau of Customs said. | GabrielLaluINQ
“Right now, our team is a well-oiled machine running after these smuggling groups. The operations yesterday showed how our officers work day and night to make sure these products will not make it to our local markets,” Rubio said.
The BOC said the Navotas warehouse, which was empty, appeared to be under construction as a cold storage facility to allegedly house the purportedly smuggled items. All six warehouses were sealed, it added. “While we want to thank the good commissioner for relentlessly reminding us of the work that lies ahead, I also want to commend our tireless BOC officers who face these challenges every day. They are armed with extensive training, sound judgment, and, more than anything else, a steadfast commitment to our mandate,” Rubio added.
