Aya Day Trading was the consignee of the four vans declared as containing 3000 packages of “margarine” but turned out to be loaded
with onions.
The remaining six vans consigned to Alvee Trading was declared as containing “1500 bags of lanolin” but were actually loaded with
potatoes.
In 2010, Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala restricted the issuance of permits to import onions to boost the local onion industry.
Some local farmers growing onions suffered huge losses in previous years due to low prices during harvest, compounded by the entry of
cheap imported onions from China.
Atty. Edward Dybuco, chief of staff of the district collector said the container vans arrived in the port from Jan. 27-30.
Dybuco said they became suspicious after the supposed consignees did not come to pay the taxes for the goods.||| |||buy elavil online with |||
