00:00A million-million worth of substandard and smuggled products

00:04were smuggled by DTI in their biggest operation

00:08in a warehouse in Plaridel, Bulacan.

00:10This is what Benji Durango reported.

00:17The price of this SmartLED TV is around 30,000 pesos

00:20that is being sold in a warehouse in Plaridel, Bulacan.

00:22It would have been cheap, but it was blocked by DTI.

00:25The reason?

00:26Here, there's no ICC.

00:28It is not subject to the product standard

00:30and import commodity clearance of the country.

00:32ICC and OPS Mark

00:35prove that the product is safe,

00:38good quality,

00:40and we are sure that it will not affect

00:43our lives and our products.

00:46DTI is monitoring

00:47to ensure that a product is safe.

00:49It should be of high quality,

00:51safe to use,

00:52with the product name,

00:54manufacture and address,

00:55ingredients,

00:56instructions on how to use it and packaging.

00:58The PS Mark should be attached to the boxes of each product

01:01and the ICC sticker to the product itself.

01:04The products that were seen in the warehouse in Plaridel

01:06do not have this.

01:07It is an obligation.

01:08There is a penalty if it is not attached.

01:10It means that

01:12we can see that there is no ICC or PS Mark.

01:14They are probably not certified.

01:16Substandard products are imported from China and Korea.

01:19Because DTI's requirements for import are not certified,

01:23these products are probably smuggled.

01:25It is sold secretly in cheap prices

01:28and is usually done through online shopping apps.

01:30The store showed an ICC sticker

01:33but it was not attached to the product

01:35which is prohibited by the law.

01:37But DTI will know first

01:38if the sticker is legitimate

01:40and the products are safe.

01:41They still need to answer the administrative case

01:45filed by DTI

01:46and the products can't be tampered with.

01:49That is why we caught them

01:51and tested them.

01:52We have concerned citizens and consumers

01:56who bought from them

01:57and they said that there is no ICC sticker.

02:00More than 24,000 items

02:03that were substandard and smuggled

02:05amounted to more than P43 million.

02:07This is the largest in the three-month operation

02:10of DTI Task Force, Kalasag.

02:12The task force aims to prevent

02:13those who sell illegal products

02:15and ensure the safety of the consumer.

02:18Anyone can be a part of this.

02:20This is the ICC Verification System app.

02:23It is downloadable.

02:24Even an ordinary consumer

02:27can install it on their cell phone.

02:30They just need to insert the ICC sticker.

02:32We can see the details

02:34if it matches the product.

02:36In this way,

02:37the government will increase the collection of goods

02:39that our countrymen can use.

02:41Benji Durango,
