MAYOR BENG Climaco lauded the police for confiscating 49 boxes of smuggled cigarettes in Barangay Cawit in Zamboanga City.
Members of the Police Station 9 discovered the 2,450 reams of cigarettes inside two abandoned vans. The contraband, worth P490,000, had been handed over to the Bureau of Customs.
Climaco praised the vigilance of the policemen and commended them. “Muchisimas gracias to our law enforcers for the continuous campaign against smuggling in support of President Duterte's all-out anti-smuggling drive.
The mayor has previously ordered the police and military to intensify their anti-smuggling campaign and also warned smugglers to stop their nefarious activities or face the long arm of the law.
“We will not tolerate smuggling in Zamboanga and I warned smugglers to stop their illegal activities and we will catch you and throw you all in jail,” she said.
She also ordered authorities to curb the selling of contraband items, including cigarettes, in Zamboanga City which deprive the government of much need revenues.
“The City Government has to intensify the campaign against smuggling. That is why an intensified campaign against the proliferation of any smuggled products must never be tolerated,” she said. (Zamboanga Post)
