00:00The government of an enforcement group that will look for and arrest those involved in agricultural smuggling has been established.

00:09It is under the auspices of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. Anti-Agricultural Economic Sabotage Act.

00:16Here, the punishment of those involved in alleged illegal activities is heavier.

00:23Krezel Pardilla is in the center of the news.

00:27President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has already enacted the Anti-Agricultural Economic Sabotage Act.

00:36It is far from laughing at the heavy punishment of those involved.

00:40Local farmers, fishermen, and consumers should be protected against smuggling or illegal entry of goods.

00:49Supply chains or lobbies are growing during the crisis.

00:54Cartels are manipulating the supply and price of goods.

01:20In 2023, P3 billion was lost due to agricultural smuggling.

01:26P230 million was lost due to smuggled agricultural products in the past 6 months.

01:33There is no shortage of smuggled products.

01:37That is why the government is not only losing because it is not collecting the goods.

01:42Local farmers and fishermen should also be warned that they cannot compete with cheap but illegal products.

01:51There is also a risk to the health of people due to the absence of sanitary permits.

02:13These crimes threaten not only our economy, but our national security as well.

02:19It jeopardizes the livelihood of hard-working Filipino farmers and fisherfolk.

02:24And it threatens the food sustainability of our communities.

02:28But the new law is not only targeting masterminds.

02:34This law does not just target the masterminds.

02:37It holds all accomplices accountable.

02:40Financiers, brokers, employees, even transporters.

02:44We are establishing the Anti-Agricultural Economic Sabotage Council, which I will chair.

02:50The Anti-Agricultural Economic Sabotage Enforcement Group will be formed to find and arrest smuggling operations.

02:58Special teams of prosecutors will be assigned to investigate and quickly punish smugglers.

03:05The Department of Agriculture approved the new law.

03:08The DA will give visitation power to inspect warehouses and code storage where illegal products may be impacted.

03:17Agriculture Secretary Francisco T. Laurel Jr. will be in charge of this.

03:21We will work harder to catch these smugglers.

03:26I hope that there will be plans to smuggle illegal goods because this is non-bailable.

03:36If you are caught, we will catch you all.
