00:00A Php 100 million worth of frozen goods was seized from a warehouse that did not register it.
00:06It also included goods that were not allowed to enter the country.
00:10Marisol Abduraman witnessed this.
00:16The fish and other fish that were caught in bags and bags
00:21were the ones who violated the authority of opening this cold storage warehouse in Kawit, Cavite.
00:27It's a clear violation of food safety.
00:29It does not have a sanitary and phytosanitary import clearance.
00:34So it's a clear violation of the Food Safety Act.
00:38In the storage, this is what was found.
00:41Bacon, pork legs.
00:43Underneath, there are beef ribs.
00:46So we can see that it was just thrown away.
00:51In the storage warehouse, the frozen goods had to be packed.
00:57Frozen meat was packed here.
00:59While the cold storage warehouse is still open,
01:01there are picking docks that are not allowed to enter the Philippines.
01:04There are also different types of meat, dim sum, vegetables, and more.
01:08The two floors of this cold storage were almost full of frozen goods.
01:13In total, 10 cold storage facilities were discovered
01:17by the people of the Department of Agriculture at Europe Customs.
01:21These were from China and Hong Kong, according to the BOC.
01:24According to the authorities, the cold storage warehouses were intentionally hidden.
01:28Because if you look at it, you wouldn't think that there are cold storage inside.
01:32Because this is a false wall.
01:34That's why the authorities didn't immediately stop their investigation.
01:38If the smell of rotten food hasn't been discovered yet,
01:41they won't be able to investigate the cold storage.
01:44So we're looking for it.
01:46But we can't see it because it's closed.
01:49Because there's a false wall.
01:51It's smelly because it's really rotten.
01:54So when they opened it,
01:56we saw that there was a box of fish that was rotten.
01:59Almost 100 tons of fish, meat, vegetables, and more were found in the box.
02:05The amount was up to P600,000.
02:08Aside from the fact that the cold storage warehouse was not registered,
02:11it was also found in other places.
02:13The packaging, the handling, the storage, even if it's refrigerated,
02:18the violation of the Food Safety Act is very clear.
02:21Since this difference is very glaring,
02:25we will recommend the issuance of a warrant of seizure.
02:29It is also known where the slaughtered meat is dropped
02:32which, according to the DA, may be harmful to health.
02:35We are not sure of the safety of the food that was brought, like this.
02:40So if we don't ensure the safety, it shouldn't be taken to the market.
02:46The owner of the cold storage facility will file a complaint
02:50that until now, he hasn't shown anything.
02:53They are under economic sabotage.
02:56We talked to several people in the warehouse.
02:58There is no one who can talk to us.
03:01I think someone else owns this.
03:03I don't know who.
03:04For GMA Integrated News,
03:07Marisol Abdurrahman is your witness.
