00:00The Bureau of Internal Revenue confiscated 200 million pesos worth of illegal cigarettes

00:07in the separate operations in Caloocan and Quezon City.

00:11According to the BIR, it is possible that the sale of so-called pecking cigarettes

00:15will reach Mindanao.

00:18The details are in the hands of Isaiah Mirafuentes.

00:22Into your right.

00:25It's obvious that these three men were deceived

00:29when the Bureau of Internal Revenue confiscated a warehouse in Quezon City.

00:34The warehouse was full of illegal cigarettes.

00:38Because the smugglers are pecking, they were not paid by the excise tax.

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

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

00:50One of the perpetrators of the raid is a Chinese.

00:54He cannot speak properly because he does not speak Tagalog and his English is limited.

01:01Who is your employer?

01:03I'm sorry.

01:04Who is the owner?

01:05I can't answer that. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

01:07The two Filipinos were also arrested.

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

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

01:17Authorities were also able to see the pecking of cars in the warehouse in Quezon City.

01:23The neighbors were also surprised by the raid.

01:26They did not know that the warehouse was illegal.

01:30Usually, it's always closed. No one goes out. No one comes in. It's literally closed.

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

01:40How did we find out that the stamps were pecking?

01:42We have a device to measure if the stamps are pecking.

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

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

01:58Red means that the stamps are pecking.

02:03In two operations, Yossi was involved in up to 1.3 million packages.

02:09The total amount of contraband confiscated was estimated to be around Php 200 million.

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

02:24The illegal Yossi was targeted in various parts of the country.

02:28Because of illegal cigarettes, it is being smuggled by small cigarette companies.

02:34I hope that we will stop selling illegal cigarettes.

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

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

02:53The BIR is also investigating if Yossi is the only one who ran away from the two discussed warehouses.

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