Under the proposed measure, smuggling, hoarding, profiteering, and establishing cartels of sugar, corn, pork, poultry, garlic, onion, carrots, fish and cruciferous vegetables will be considered economic sabotage, especially if the amount reaches millions of pesos. The aggregate amount of the taxes, duties and other charges avoided, on the other hand, shall be imposed on the officers of dummy corporations, nongovernment organizations, associations, cooperatives, or single proprietorships who knowingly sell, lend, lease, assign, consent or allow the unauthorized use of their import permits for purposes of profiteering, hoarding, and cartelling.
