00:00In the face of the strongest campaign against smuggling,
00:03millions of pesos worth of smuggled agricultural products
00:07were confiscated by the authorities in a warehouse in Kawit, Cavite.
00:12Aside from being smuggled, these products were even mishandled.
00:16This is the 7th news from Clazel Pardilla Live.
00:24Under the visa of the letter of authority,
00:26the Department of Agriculture and the Bureau of Customs
00:30have invaded a warehouse in Kawit, Cavite
00:32where a parcel was placed in front of it.
00:35But there are still hidden food storage facilities
00:38that contain illegal products.
00:44This is not a normal warehouse in Kawit, Cavite
00:47where hundreds of parcels were placed.
00:50But after a few days of surveillance
00:53by the Department of Agriculture and the Bureau of Customs,
00:56it turns out that not only parcels but also packaged materials
01:00were hidden in this warehouse.
01:02When that wall was destroyed and the contents were inserted,
01:06a code storage facility was opened
01:09that contained smuggled agricultural products.
01:13When the refrigerated vans were opened,
01:16hundreds of kilos of frozen pork,
01:19duck and chicken from China were seen
01:22where importation of these products is being carried out
01:26due to the threat of bird flu and ASF.
01:30But that's not all.
01:32Because the giants were also spotted
01:35that the rocks were hardened,
01:37stolen and just put in cement
01:41that has no documents.
01:45The other container is full of shabu-shabu ingredients.
01:51This code storage facility is the only one
01:53in 10 container vans that were opened
01:55by the Department of Agriculture and the Bureau of Customs.
01:58The smuggled agricultural products were stolen
02:02just like the products commonly used for shabu-shabu
02:06such as dumplings, siomai and frozen meatballs.
02:10It was really hidden.
02:13There's a false wall.
02:14If you don't put it inside,
02:16when you're outside,
02:17you won't see that there's a code storage facility.
02:19This code storage facility is illegal.
02:21It's not registered with the NMIS
02:24which is in charge of our code storages and warehouses.
02:27It's in violation of Republic Act 10611,
02:31our Food Safety Act.
02:33It's dangerous if it goes out to the market.
02:36The NMIS had an initial investigation
02:40and found out that it's unfit for human consumption.
02:43Most of the companies here...
02:46Illegal products can cost up to 100 million pesos.
02:51The NMIS was given 15 days to explain.
02:57It violated the Food Safety Act and economic sabotage
03:01under the Anti-Agricultural Law.
03:05It will destroy illegal products.
03:11According to the Department of Agriculture,
03:13the NMIS will inform the smugglers
03:16that they will be apprehended
03:20and the DA and BOC will look for
03:22the smuggled agricultural products.
03:28So, Clay, it's padlocked now.
03:31The warehouse is closed.
03:33What are the whereabouts of the owner of the warehouse?
03:38Yes, Angelique.
03:39The code storage facilities are padlocked now.
03:43There are 10 containers in a cell.
03:46Only the authorized persons of the DA and BOC
03:50can access that place.
03:54According to the Bureau of Customs,
03:57the owner of these illegal products
04:00is a Chinese national.
04:03Angelique?
04:04Thank you very much, Clayzel Pardilio.
