President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. believes that the digitalization of the Bureau of Customs (BOC) will be vital in the government’s fight against smuggling, noting that putting a stop to it will eventually lead to a steady supply of goods in the country.
The President acknowledged that the most essential facet of the whole problem of the supply of goods was production.
“Diyan tayo naiipit, eh. Masyado tayong nasanay sa import. So import lang tayo nang import, hindi natin inaayos yung production side ,” he added. “When you take supplies from abroad, yung inflationary forces doon nadadala rito sa Pilipinas ,” he said.
