00:00 Smuggled and expired chicken is worth P30 million
00:06 of meat and product that was smuggled in separate container vans.
00:10 Bernadette Reyes was able to find out.
00:12 The smuggled meat of pork, beef and chicken was smuggled to the operatives of the Bureau of Customs,
00:21 Department of Agriculture and National Meat Inspection Service
00:25 when they opened five refrigerated container vans in Caloocan earlier this afternoon.
00:30 Based on the markings on the products,
00:32 the smuggled and expired products were considered to be from China.
00:36 While others have Canadian markings,
00:39 but the authorities are still asking if these are from the country.
00:43 It is estimated to weigh 70 tons and worth P30 million.
00:49 These are the four to five container vans that were raided by the BOC and DA here in Caloocan.
00:55 This container van contains different frozen goods and also ice cream.
01:00 It is estimated that the owner will be given 15 days to submit the documents proving that these were legally imported.
01:08 If we prove that these were illegally imported,
01:12 we have a smuggling case against them and the National Security Food Act.
01:16 The plan is to destroy these so that they will not be used again.
01:20 Some of these expired last year.
01:24 So, these are unfit for human consumption.
01:27 We should not be eating or feeding these to our fellowmen
01:34 because it will be harmful to our overall health.
01:40 This is a violation of the law.
