BOC Commissioner Bien Rubio stressed that the exceptional performance of the bureau in the first quarter of the year may be attributed to its commitment to combat smuggling activities. He assured the public that the BOC will remain vigilant towards smuggling attempts while working with other government agencies for wider coverage.
“We will remain vigilant in our efforts to combat smuggling and protect our nation’s interests. We will continue to work with our partners in government and the private sector to ensure that our borders are secure and our local industries thrive,” he added. The confiscations happened after 123 Alert Orders were issued against suspected shipments, while the Commissioner issued 19 Letters of Authority against various warehouses, storage facilities, and stores that were mentioned in derogatory reports.
