00:00As for the rise shipments, we will discuss this with Atty. Vincent Philip Maronilla,
00:07Assistant Commissioner and Speaker of the Bureau of Customs.
00:11Atty. Maronilla, good afternoon.
00:14Good afternoon, Nina. Good afternoon to all the viewers who are listening to this program.
00:20Sir, first of all, what are the factors that are the reason for the accumulation of rise shipments in the Port of Manila?
00:28And how many containers of rice in total are in the Port at the moment?
00:34In the Port of Manila, there are 258 containers.
00:42Of those 237 containers, duties and taxes have already been paid to the Bureau of Customs and we have already cleared them.
00:49So the problem is with their consigns.
00:53Although there are still 30 days in the Port.
00:58Under our law, if you stay and you are not claimed after you pay duties and taxes,
01:04within 30 days, we can declare them abandoned.
01:12So there are still none.
01:14In the 258 containers in the Port of Manila, as I said, 237 have already been paid.
01:20There are 21 containers that are still being processed for payment.
01:25This is the one that lodged very recently.
01:28In Manila International Container Port, we have 630 containers that are still there.
01:36492 have already been paid and 138 are still being processed by their consigns.
01:44Again, the pending containers in the Port of Manila and MICP, there are still no 30 days in there.
01:51So we have not yet declared them abandoned.
01:53But as far as I know, our Department of Agriculture is coordinating with the owners of these consigns and rice to release them.
02:05What is the news that they have been there for months?
02:08So it is not true that they have been there for 3-6 months and they are abandoned?
02:14According to our data, ma'am, there are still no 30 days.
02:17So this is what we are monitoring.
02:19It also looks like the earlier statement that was clarified by the Department of Agriculture,
02:25if I'm not mistaken, together with General Manager Jason Tealco.
02:30Okay.
02:31So what are the steps that the consignees need to take in order to release the other rice containers that are still in the Port of Manila?
02:41What they need to do is to pull them out.
02:43They are already there.
02:44Those shipments of duties and taxes have already been paid.
02:47The customs zone is already cleared.
02:49What they need to do is to take them to our ports,
02:53put them in their warehouses,
02:56or distribute them to their retailers.
03:00Now, if they did not do that within 30 days,
03:04from their payment to the Bureau of Customs,
03:07we will declare that they are abandoned and they can be auctioned or donated to Kadiwa Stores.
03:15Okay.
03:15In the Manila International Container Port,
03:19how many rice containers are not yet released?
03:23And what is the Customs Bureau waiting for from these importers?
03:29There are only 138, ma'am.
03:31Out of the 630 that are in our yards in the Manila International Container Port,
03:36492 have already been processed and their due payment has already been paid.
03:42They just need to be pulled out by our importers or consignees.
03:48As for the 138, they are still being processed because they are just arriving.
03:52They will be processed for a few days.
03:56After they pay their duties and taxes, they can be pulled out.
04:01Okay.
04:02What are the activities of the Bureau of Customs
04:05in monitoring and managing the rice shipment situation in the ports of Manila?
04:12Ma'am, we have what we call
04:16a system, a computer system,
04:21which provides us with real-time data.
04:24How many are coming in, how many are pending,
04:27how many are our port utilization, what are the shipments in their ports.
04:32This is updated daily and monitored daily by Commissioner Bienvenido Rubio.
04:37The items in this include rice.
04:41Our port operation service is not lacking
04:44to remind our consignees or our importers
04:48that once they are processed, they should be pulled out.
04:50I think that is what our Department of Agriculture is doing right now.
04:55We are helping them to remind our consignees
05:00to pull out the rice.
05:03As a result, the process here at the end of the Bureau of Customs is complete.
05:07Attorney, can you explain the legal procedures
05:12that are being followed by the BOC
05:14to ensure the compliance and release of the shipments?
05:19Yes, ma'am. Once they are lodged with us,
05:22we are together with the Bureau of Plant Industry
05:27of the Department of Agriculture
05:29when it comes to rice, to inspect those items.
05:34The Bureau of Customs and the Bureau of Plant Industry
05:38issue permits for those rice.
05:42It is important that those permits are issued
05:45so that we can ensure that the Department of Agriculture
05:50is allowed to import the rice
05:52because their products are fit for human consumption.
05:55After that examination, ma'am,
05:57our customs appraisers will assess
06:03based on the recommendations of our customs examiners.
06:06Once that is assessed,
06:08we will provide an assessment notice to the importers
06:12on how much the rice should be paid.
06:14Once that is received by our importers,
06:18they can pay it online.
06:20The payment to the Bureau of Customs
06:22is by way of an autodebit system
06:24of their enrolled accounts
06:26in our CPRS system,
06:28our customs system.
06:31Once we receive that payment,
06:33we will release that shipment
06:35to our terminal operators
06:37so that they can settle their charges.
06:40Once that is done,
06:42they can pull out their shipments
06:46to our ports and deliver them
06:48to their warehouses
06:50or wherever they can bring it.
06:53Since it is up to our countrymen
06:56on the price of rice
06:58due to shipment delays,
07:00what is the possible effect
07:02of this on the price of rice in the market?
07:05Ma'am, we will just remind
07:07and assure our countrymen
07:09that in this situation,
07:11in our opinion,
07:13and in our assessment,
07:15the delay in shipment
07:17is still not that big
07:19because there are still
07:21less than 30 days.
07:23The effect of this
07:25on the price
07:27may not be that big.
07:30What our government will do
07:32like what we are doing
07:34with the Bureau of Customs
07:36to help the Department of Agriculture
07:38is to remind our consignees
07:40to pull out their shipments
07:42and to remind them of the periods
07:44that they need to comply with
07:46like this 30-day period
07:48before it is deemed abandoned.
07:50In our opinion,
07:52it does not look like
07:54the price of rice
07:56should be affected
07:59by the pending shipments
08:01here in the ports
08:03because it is not that long.
08:05Nevertheless,
08:07we are still going to push
08:09for the consignees
08:11to pull out their shipments
08:13and bring them to their destinations.
08:15Okay.
08:17Do you have a message
08:19to our countrymen
08:21from the Bureau of Customs?
08:23We hope that
08:25the Bureau of Customs
08:27and Commissioner Bien Rubio
08:29will make a decision
08:31that will have an effect
08:33on increasing the prices
08:35of goods if there is a delay
08:37is directed to the Bureau of Customs.
08:39We assure that
08:41all shipments that pass
08:43through the Bureau of Customs
08:45are examined properly
08:47and processed quickly
08:49so that there is no additional
08:51that our consumers
08:53need to pay.
08:56We are working with
08:58various government agencies
09:00that have regulatory functions
09:02in the Bureau of Customs
09:04to speed up the process
09:06and again,
09:08there is no shift
09:10or burden on the consumers
09:12and the transportation
09:14of imported items
09:16that pass through our country.
09:18Alright.
09:20Thank you very much for your time.
09:22Attorney Vincent Philip Maronilla,
09:25Assistant Commissioner and Speaker
09:27of the Bureau of Customs.
