Marikina 2nd District Rep. Stella Quimbo is convinced that a controversial agriculture trader remains the “undisputed sibuyas queen.” | GabrielLaluINQ
“A careful scrutiny of numerous public documents including General Information Sheets, registries of the Bureau of Plant Industry and the Department of Trade and Industry; the income statements submitted to the SEC and the Committee, the inventory reports submitted to the Committee led me to the conclusion na buhay na buhay ang onion cartel sa ating bansa ,” she said.
Quimbo further explained that although Cruz was already blacklisted by the Department of Agriculture , the trader was able to operate through Phil Vieva. Cruz is the majority owner of the corporation, the lawmaker noted. “Ang PhilVIEVA ay isang fully vertically integrated corporation: ibig sabihin, sakop nito ang halos lahat ng operations sa onion industry, mula farming , trading , cold storage , at trucking . Ika nga, mula ulo hanggang paa, involved sila sa onion industry,” she said.“Kaduda-duda ang existence ng PhilVIEVA. Bigatin ang mga miyembro ng PhilVIEVA, pero wala silang joint operations. Halos wala daw silang joint income.
