Hindi lamang mga pangunahing produkto na tulad ng bigas, asukal, sibuyas, semento kundi pati illegal drugs ay "ibinabagsak" dito.

In one of his rare candid moments with reporters, Lacson said authorities have long suspected Co of being one of the country’s big-time smugglers.


However, he said police officers have not come up with evidence to pin down Co.

However, Farolan said Uy can still do business at the Bureau of Customs through

The government failed anew to sell 10 smuggled luxury vehicles as prospective

Customs Commissioner Nelson Tan, however, was not surprised, saying it was

making any bids.

The average price for each of the sport utility vehicles is P3.2 million -- an
amount which the bidders apparently found too high. Among the vehicles that
were for sale were a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado and Range Rovers.
