00:00Illegal cigarettes worth Php 200 million were confiscated by the Bureau of Internal Revenue

00:06in a separate operation in Caloocan and Quezon City.

00:10According to the BIR, the sale of so-called fake cigarettes could reach Mindanao.

00:17Isaiah Miracuente is in the center of the news.

00:20The three men were surprised and obviously dismayed when the Bureau of Internal Revenue

00:31raided a warehouse in Quezon City.

00:34The warehouse was full of illegal cigarettes because the smugglers are fake.

00:41These are not paid by excise tax.

00:43The other cigarettes were imported but without BIR stamps.

00:48And if there are any, they are fake.

00:50One of the people who were raided was a Chinese man.

00:54He couldn't speak Tagalog well because he doesn't know how to speak Tagalog and his English is limited.

01:01Who is your employer?

01:03Who is the owner?

01:05I can't answer that. Sorry. Sorry.

01:07The two Filipinos were also arrested.

01:10They were asked who was the Chinese man who was arrested.

01:12He is the one who is our boss here. He is the one who stays here.

01:17Authorities were also able to see fake car plates in the warehouse in Quezon City.

01:23The neighbors were also surprised when the raid happened.

01:26They have no idea that the warehouse is illegal.

01:29Usually, it is always closed.

01:31No one goes out. No one comes in.

01:33It is literally closed.

01:35A raid against illegal cigarettes was also held in Kaluokan City.

01:40How do we know that the stamps are fake?

01:43We have a tool to identify if the stamps are fake.

01:48This cigarette has stamps that we can see.

01:52But if we look at it, it will turn red.

01:58It means that the stamps are fake.

02:03In two operations, 1.3 million packages of stamps were collected.

02:09It is estimated that the total value of the stamps is 200 million pesos.

02:15The total estimated tax liability, including penalties, is less than 1 billion pesos.

02:24Illegal stamps are sold in different parts of the country.

02:28Because of illegal cigarettes, illegal cigarette companies are forced to sell them.

02:33We should stop selling illegal cigarettes.

02:39We should register in the BIR if you want to sell cigarettes and vape products.

02:49Authorities are also investigating the mastermind of the crime.

02:53The BIR is also investigating if he is the only one running the two warehouses.

03:00Suspects may face tax evasion, possession of excisable articles without payment of excise tax, and violation of tax stamps.
