THE Anti-Agricultural Economic Sabotage Council and the AES Enforcement Group, alongside relevant government agencies, vowed to implement to the full extent the recently enacted Anti-Agricultural Economic Sabotage Act.
The Department of Agriculture’s Director for Inspectorate and Enforcement Felicisimo Madayag Jr. highlighted the agency’s commitment to action as crucial in boosting the efficiency of the law’s mandate. “Our success will not be measured solely by laws passed or penalties imposed. It will be measured by the trust we rebuild in our agricultural sector, the livelihood we safeguard, and the food security we ensure to every Filipino family,” said Madayag.
He noted that the new law’s expanded scope and mandated penalties can better prevent the entry of smuggled agricultural products, ensure payment of correct duties and taxes, and exactliability from direct perpetrators and enablers alike. “The law is just one component of the solution; enforcement is critical. By working together, we can ensure that this legislation achieves its full potential—empowering the Filipino people and safeguarding the integrity of our agricultural supply chain,” said Manhit.
