Agriculture Senior Undersecretary Domingo Panganiban, the official at the center of an impending Senate investigation on the alleged illegal importation of sugar earlier this year, has been named officer in charge of the Sugar Regulatory Administration.
“The urgency of an OIC is very important because we still have importations coming in and we still are continuing to come out with the import clearances,” Azcona added.
The SRA issued Sugar Order No. 6 six days after the entry of the sugar shipment in what Hontiveros believed was to justify the SRA’s decision to handpick only three importers—All Asian Countertrade Inc., Edison Lee Marketing Corp. and S&D Sucden Philippines Inc.—to buy some 440,000 MT of sugar from abroad.
National Federation of Sugarcane Planters Inc. president Enrique Rojas said this development sent “mixed signals” to industry stakeholders. United Sugar Producers Federation of the Philippines president Manuel Lamata said Panganiban was a “good choice” to head the SRA. The SRA approved on Tuesday the amendments to an internal memorandum circular that would allow the donation of smuggled sugar for sale to the public.
“One of those is cloud seeding. It is also being proposed by the provincial government of Negros. Now, we just have to come up with the cost and logistics involved to do that,” he explained.
