COUNTERFEITING (pamemeke) is a big business for illegal traders in the Philippines.
Kahit sa website/on-line ay meron na rin nagbebenta ng pekeng produkto.
Recently, warehouses were raided by the Bureau of Customs operatives and NBI and charges was also filed against the owners & tenants of these warehouses. The warehouse is said to being lease by the Olivares Family in Parañaque.
In my previous column I wrote, that if only the local government units (LGU) will order the ban on buying and selling of fake products in their cities & municipalities, they can help minimizing smuggling.
Sabi nga ni Mayor Edwin Olivarez, he will not tolerate this in his city.
Hindi ba isang moral obligation ng bawat siyudad na tulungan ang gobyerno sa pagsugpo at pagkalat ng mga pekeng smuggled goods?
But it seems no one cares sa isyung ito.
I hope Mayor Edwin Olivarez, will be the first to act to stop the distribution of these fake products in his city. Ipatupad ang restriction sa pagtitinda ng pekeng produkto. Malaki ang maitutulong nito para mabawasan ang ismagling sa ating bansa at maprotektahan ang mga lehitimong negosyante sa kanilang lugar.
If the BOC can’t stop it … the LGUs can do it.
The big question sa isyung ito, kaninong administrasyon ba nakalusot sa Customs ang mga pekeng produkto na ito? Kay Ruffy Biazon ba o kay Sunny Sevilla?
