00:00Meanwhile, the Department of Agriculture has sampled something in the middle of its campaign against Agriculture Smuggling.
00:07According to the Department of Agriculture, a complaint was filed by a manufacturing company that is behind the illegal import of 2.37 million pesos worth of fresh yellow onions from China.
00:22The 25 metric tons of fresh yellow onions arrived in Manila's South Harbor last July and were found to have no sanitary and phytosanitary import currencies.
00:35BPI National Plant Quarantine Division, Port of Manila Area, Manager Henrik X. Conde, first questioned the company's involvement as an agricultural product
00:46because the SPSIC issue for white onions was suspended for the time being.
00:53The DA also added that the company is reluctant to give a strong indication of the import of yellow onions even though there is no SPSIC, which is important for the natural shipment to enter the country to be safe.
01:09Sec. Chu Laurel Jr. was the first to question the company's involvement in the campaign against Agricultural Smuggling,
01:17while other government agencies were also questioned under the Anti-Agricultural Economic Sabotage Act.
