00:00 In other news, almost in the midst of the joy of Christmas and sadness of the pandemic,
00:05 the end of the release of hundreds of boxes that were stored in the Customs warehouse.
00:10 Some of them were delivered within two years and some were already sent to the dead.
00:15 John, a consultant, was there.
00:17 It's like Christmas in this warehouse of the Bureau of Customs in Manila.
00:27 Of course, I'm happy. I can now hold on to my son's hard work.
00:31 But some of the boxes were also left in a mixed state.
00:36 There are experts there, but I'm happy because the items, the value of the items are still there.
00:41 It's not because Ginaldo was early to get the boxes, but because they were already stored within seven months to two years.
00:51 That's why this family in Marikina is so happy that they can finally open the boxes
00:58 and get the gift that their beloved OFW worked hard for.
01:02 I was still wondering if this box was really alive.
01:07 We forgot about it. That's what I thought at that time.
01:11 I thought the person who called me was a scammer.
01:14 That's why I was hesitating to go there.
01:17 But the person who called, Christina Tula, became emotional.
01:21 Her father couldn't reach her brother's package from Kuwait that was delivered last year.
01:27 My father was supposed to receive it, but he died.
01:31 He's in the hospital now. I read his name. It hurts.
01:37 According to Customs, the fly-by-night consolidators are the victims of our OFWs in the UAE.
01:45 Their service is at a low price.
01:47 According to the Bureau of Customs, more than 5,000 fly-by-night boxes were abandoned,
01:54 which are now being carried by 21 containers.
01:57 According to the BOC, this is the result of the victimization of consolidators who abandoned their clients abroad.
02:04 That's why the BOC is warning.
02:06 We should be careful. We should not send too good to be true promises.
02:13 We should calculate the processing fee, freight and the cost of shipping your boxes.
02:23 It's hard to believe that they are asking for as low as P3,500 for jumbo boxes.
02:29 The BOC is accusing 11 cases against the consolidators who claimed to change their names quickly.
02:38 We can blacklist them so they cannot operate here if there are cases like this.
02:43 Just one hit and they will be filed with a performance ban.
02:47 If they are cheating, the people who paid will not be affected. We will just charge the delivery.
02:58 The delivery will last for three weeks, according to the BOC.
03:01 That's why it will reach Christmas if Balikbayan Box will ship it now.
03:05 If it will pass through a black company, it will be delivered door to door.
03:10 For JMA Integrated News, John Consulta, Nakatutok 24 Hours.
