NBI seizes P2 million fake insecticides
MANILA, Philippines — Around P2 million worth of counterfeit insecticides in Valenzuela City and Tondo, Manila were confiscated by the National Bureau of Investigation recently.
The NBI said 13,412 canisters of fake Bao Li Lai aerosol insecticides and 3,042 canisters of counterfeit Big Bie Lai insecticides were seized at an establishment known as EveryJuan Shop and its warehouses.
The operation stemmed from a complaint filed by the registered trademark owners, who reported the widespread sale of counterfeit versions of their products.
Following surveillance and test-buy operations, the NBI confirmed the illegal activities and secured search warrants from the Manila Regional Trial Court Branch 46.
Complaints will be filed against the owner of the establishment for trademark infringement under Republic Act 8293, the Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines.
