00:00Be careful with the vitamin syrups that you're letting your children drink.

00:06It might be like the ones that are seasoned using a washing machine

00:11and mixed with food coloring.

00:14John Consulta's grade in cooking is EXCLUSIVE.

00:23When you come to this house in Arayat, Pampanga,

00:30Good morning, NBI.

00:32We have a safe quarter here.

00:35We also have the FDA with us.

00:39The NBI Central Lausanne Regional Office 3

00:43took over the task of making peking vitamin C syrups for the children.

00:48The repacking of non-registered drugs was also caught on camera

00:52by the Food and Drug Administration or FDA.

00:54The NBI discovered the making of peking vitamin C syrups

00:59when a former employee of the NBI, a fishing authority,

01:03used a washing machine.

01:05One of the agents surprised by the raid

01:08was when they discovered that the raw materials

01:11like sugar, food coloring, and food flavoring

01:15were being mixed by a group in this washing machine.

01:20All of this was put in a washing machine

01:23to be mixed together.

01:25They also put it in bottles like this.

01:30According to the NBI,

01:32aside from the Central Zone and Metro Manila,

01:35their counterfeit vitamin C syrups

01:40can be found in the provinces of Visayas and Mindanao.

01:45What they are doing is very unsanitary.

01:47The contents are unregistered.

01:52They only use food coloring, sugar, and that's it.

01:57They don't take any vitamins.

01:59This is for the children.

02:01Children get sick easily.

02:03Their immune system is weak.

02:06That's why they expect to get vitamin C.

02:11But they don't.

02:12They've been doing this for almost 20 years.

02:15It's worth almost P400,000

02:17when peking vitamin C syrups were confiscated.

02:20One of them was arrested.

02:21He's the owner of the factory

02:23that we're still trying to get.

02:26At first, they were copying the original

02:29of the registered vitamin C.

02:31As time went by, they changed the brand.

02:34We sued them.

02:35We inquested them for violation

02:37of Republic Act 9711,

02:39the Drug and Food Administration Act of 2009.

02:42The NBI reminded the public

02:44to buy from the accredited drugstores.

02:49Now we know, we can see it everywhere.

02:53Instead of buying from the drugstores,

02:55it's still cheap, but there's no effect.

02:57There's no efficacy.

02:58For GMA Integrated News,
