Transcript

00:00 Millions of smuggled agricultural products were smuggled to three warehouses

00:05 raided by the Bureau of Customs in Manila.

00:08 The so-called warehouses were closed by Bien Manalo in Detalle.

00:13 The operatives from the Bureau of Customs and the National Bureau of Investigation

00:22 raided the three warehouses in Tondo, Manila.

00:25 Here, they were smuggled various smuggled agricultural products

00:30 worth up to 5 million pesos.

00:33 We did this operation

00:35 according to the complaints of our local farmers

00:38 that imported agri-products were smuggled

00:44 here in Divisoria, Binondo.

00:46 When we prepared a surveillance operation,

00:50 we also saw the complaints they were making.

00:54 This establishment is the only one in Barangay Santo Cristo in Tondo, Manila

00:59 where three warehouses were raided by the Bureau of Customs

01:03 and the National Bureau of Investigation

01:06 where more than 5 million pesos worth of smuggled agricultural products were smuggled.

01:12 Among the smuggled fruits and vegetables,

01:16 the smuggled goods were smuggled from China.

01:19 According to the BOC, smugglers are doing this in different ways

01:24 to smuggle products to the Philippines.

01:27 Because smuggled products are smuggled,

01:30 they kill the livelihood of local farmers in the country.

01:34 It has a huge effect.

01:35 Instead of buying our countrymen from local farmers,

01:41 they will choose them because according to what we have talked about,

01:45 the life of imported products is longer

01:48 than the life of local products

01:50 and we don't know what kind of chemicals are mixed in this.

01:54 The BOC also reminded that smuggled products are dangerous.

01:58 To those who are protesting,

02:00 we should ensure that we won't be harmed by the products we buy.

02:05 In doing this kind of violation of the law,

02:10 the Bureau of Customs does not stop smuggling them.

02:13 No one was arrested in RIDA,

02:15 but the agency closed the three warehouses.

02:18 They will be given 15 days to sign a document

02:23 to prove that the products are legal.
