Around 20 police dogs are currently being trained by the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) to detect smuggled agricultural products.
“Alam naman natin na laging nababalita na mayroong mga pumapasok na smuggled agricultural products like onions, garlic, sugar, frozen meat, even galunggong. Kaya po ang ating mga aso ay ating sinanay na umamoy ng mga agricultural products,” PCG K-9 Force Commander Commodore Allen Dalangin said in Mark Salazar’s report on “24 Oras” on Tuesday.
The PCG chief said the police dogs have been training to become agricultural products detection K-9 for two weeks but have already taken part in busting 57 sacks of suspected smuggled white onions in an operation in Divisoria over the weekend. For its part, the Department of Agriculture said it has yet to issue an import permit for white onions.
