00:00A million pesos worth of smuggled cigarettes were found in a container van in Manila North Harbor.
00:05Here is my report.
00:11The Philippine Coast Guard has been monitoring these two container vans in Manila North Harbor for six days
00:16after receiving information that it may contain smuggled goods.
00:22As early as last week, we received information about alleged smuggled goods
00:28coming from Manila, coming from Sabuaga.
00:31So, our intel operatives targeted this and it arrived on Thursday.
00:37When opened, 80 boxes of cigarettes were found.
00:41One box contained 150 reams.
00:44According to the PCG, the consignee's declaration,
00:47the total value is three million pesos.
00:49But according to the Coast Guard,
00:51it is possible that a container van contained 15 million pesos.
00:55These are alleged Malaysian cigarettes.
00:58So, this is not ours.
01:00So, obviously, this is smuggled.
01:02Most probably, but we still have to conduct our investigation.
01:06The second container van has not yet been opened by the Customs and PCG
01:10because the consignee is still waiting for it to arrive.
01:13Aside from smuggling,
01:14the PCG is still studying if the owner of the container ship
01:18where the smuggled cigarettes were smuggled.
01:21The second one is a falsification of documents
01:24because in the cargo manifest, this is not there.
01:28So, it's good that with the help and with the determination of intel operatives,
01:34they were able to determine that there are two container vans
01:38that are not included in the cargo.
