Cavite 4th Rep. Elpidio Barzaga Jr. welcomes Swiss company Société Générale de Surveillance SA's recommendation to conduct pre-shipping inspections to stop the smuggling of agricultural goods into the Philippines.
"This proposal bodes well for President [Ferdinand] Bongbong [Marcos Jr.]'s administration because it yielded positive results in the past under the first Marcos administration," said Barzaga, a certified public accountant-lawyer. Barzaga, who chairs the House Committee on Natural Resources, hailed the President's move to consider seeking SGS' services, saying it shows the government's seriousness in fighting smuggling, especially of agricultural imports.
According to Barzaga, the Department of Finance and the World Bank awarded a five-year contract to SGS for the Comprehensive Import Supervision Scheme at the BOC during the final days of Marcos Sr.'s tenure.
