00:00KASABAY NANG LUMALAGANAP NA BENTAHAN AN ANTOBACO PRODUCT
00:03IMINUNGKAHI NANG SENADO ANG MAS PINAIGTING NA PAGOBANTAY SA NASABING INDUSTLIA
00:08LALO NA SA MGA ILLEGAL VAPE PRODUCT ONLINE
00:10ANG DETALYE SA SENTRO NANG BALITA NI DANIEL MANALASTAS LIVE
00:15DANIEL
00:15Joshua, SA PINAGPAPATULOY NA PAGDINIG NANG SENATE COMMITTEE ON WAIS AND MEANS
00:22HINGGIL SA EXCISE TAX PARA SA TOBACO PRODUCTS
00:26May ilang nakikitang rekomendasyon si Sen. Sherwin Gatchelian
00:30para masawata ang illicit trades o ito yung mga lumalabag sa batas
00:35Ayon sa Senador, ilang sa dapat gawin ay palakasin ang koordinasyon ng iba't ibang ahensya ng gobyerno
00:40Patatagin ang enforcement laban sa mga e-marketplaces at e-retailers o yung mga nagbebenta online
00:48At palakasin ang prosekusyon at yaking may mapapanagot sa mga lumalabag sa batas
00:53We don't believe that the solution to curving illicit trade will come from the reduction in taxes
01:01We don't believe in that
01:03We believe in strengthening the enforcement agencies
01:07Coming up with new mechanisms such as incentives for our enforcement agencies
01:12In order to curb illicit trade in our country
01:15What is very prevalent right now is smuggling of vaping products
01:20Subalit Joshua, lubos na kinababahala ng Senador
01:26Ang pagtaas umano na ang gumagamit ng vape na mga kabataan
01:29Ang problema, hindi daw nakaregister ang ilang vape products
01:33Here, nicotine salt is available in the market right now
01:39Sinasabi niyo sa amin walang nag-register
01:42Yes, Mr. Chair
01:43Pero merong available in the market
01:45Yes, Mr. Chair
01:46With our suspensions last year, we have seen the reduction of illicit vape products
01:54From September to February
02:00However, as of late February to date
02:03There's again an uptick on the illicit products in the market
02:08So right now, what we're doing is we're finalizing administrative complaints
02:15As well as criminal complaints against the retailers
02:20Is to mahuli lahat na nagbebenta nito
02:24And erase this from the market
02:26Because this is precisely the products that our adolescents, our youth buys and uses
02:33And the worst part is, ito walang selyo to
02:36So meaning, they're not paying taxes
02:39They're not registered with the DTI
02:40They're not paying taxes because there's no seal
02:44And yet, they're now filtering to the hands of our adolescents
02:47Sabi naman ng BIR Joshua
02:50Ang naobserbahan nila
02:52Sa ilang vape shops
02:54Ang nakadisplay daw ay yung rehistradong produkto
02:57Subalit, kapag pinuntahan na yung Facebook pages ng mga vape shops
03:02Madidiscovery na may binibenta sila
03:05At may pinagtataguan ng mga illicit vape products
03:09Signita naman ng BIR na may mga operasyon sila
03:11Para matimbog na yung mga ganitong klaseng iligal na gawain
03:15Joshua?
03:18Maraming salamat, Daniel Manalastas
