The Bureau of Customs (BOC) found P120-million worth of suspected smuggled food products in Navotas last week, with most of the seafood coming from China.
The BOC said the items were discovered during raids on seven warehouses or cold storage facilities in Navotas last Friday, March 17, acting on letters of authority signed by BOC Commissioner Bienvenido Rubio.
Most of the frozen seafood came from China, while the beef came from Brazil and Australia, the pork from the United States, and pork ears from Russia. The warehouses have since been temporarily padlocked, with the keys turned over to barangay officials.
