00:00Carrots, onions, and cigarettes worth millions of Pesos were separated and blocked in Subic after being transported by a tank from China and Taiwan.
00:11There is no official document on these, so it is not certain if they are safe.
00:16And Ivan Mayrina was able to find out.
00:21They were declared frozen fish egg boats.
00:24There is an opening.
00:26It turns out that the cargo of Subic Bay from China is 144 tons of carrots and onions.
00:33It is worth 21 million Pesos.
00:45Aside from that, there is no sanitary and phytosanitary import clearance for these.
00:49It is required so that they can be safely transported.
00:52That is one of the reasons for the investigation.
00:54So that it would not be like the 300 tons of smuggled vegetables that were abused by the Agriculture Department and Customs in Navotas
01:02which resulted in high levels of pesticide, heavy metal, and microbial contaminants.
01:08In the separation of operations, Subic was still visited by two smuggled cigarette containers that were declared tissue.
01:15It is worth 115 million Pesos.
01:18There is also no registration of tax exemption certificates, import commodity clearance,
01:23and registration for Customs, its consignee.
01:26Aside from filing a complaint against the registered consignees of smuggled cargo,
01:31the DA and Bureau of Customs are repressing other importers of agricultural products.
01:36Their campaign is still active against smuggling.
