00:00Thousands upon thousands of sacks of alleged smuggled imported rice worth hundreds of millions

00:05of pesos have been seized by the Bureau of Customs Intelligence and Investigation Services

00:11or CIIS, the Philippine Coast Guard, and the Department of Agriculture in Balagtas, Bulacan.

00:17A total of nine warehouses were raided on Monday evening after multiple intelligence

00:23reports were received by the BOC of the alleged smuggled goods in storage.

00:29According to BOC-CIIS Chief Alvin Enciso, some of the warehouses allegedly mix and repack

00:37the smuggled imported rice with local grain to boost quantity and sell at a higher retail

00:42value.

00:43Enciso also emphasized on the sacks being possibly hoarded from previous years when

00:49wholesale prices were low, hence the thousands stockpiled collecting thick layers of dust

00:55in the warehouses.

00:57The BOC assured the seized items, once checked and examined, may possibly be repurposed by

01:03the government by donating them to the Department of Social Welfare and Development so long

01:08as it passes human consumption muster.
