00:00Another news, more than 40 million pesos worth of smuggled sugar was smuggled from Vietnam

00:07by the Bureau of Customs.

00:09According to the Sugar Regulatory Administration, this has an effect not only on the government's income

00:14but also on the sugar producers in the country.

00:18Witness, Bernadette Reyes.

00:2010,000 bags of smuggled sugar were smuggled from Vietnam to the Port of Subic.

00:31The Bureau of Customs issued a notice on a random inspection this March.

00:35On the label of the bags, it is written 88% sugar and 12% glucose.

00:40But on the paper, it is written sweet mix powder.

00:44But based on the physical examination of the Bureau of Customs, the bags contain sugar.

00:49The bag said it was sugar.

00:54Then, they put a paper label saying it's glucose and something else.

00:59So, the Customs held it.

01:02The Bureau of Customs is still under testing to make sure.

01:05According to the Sugar Regulatory Administration,

01:07aside from the possibility of it damaging the country's supply,

01:11the government's income will also be lost.

01:13Based on the SRA's estimate, the shipment of more than 42 million pesos

01:18will be sold in retail.

01:20It was imported to be sold again.

01:23So, that's where it will hit our sugar market.

01:27It disrupts the demand for the local produce, actually.

01:31So, our farmers will be affected.

01:33The SRA assured that the bags will be returned

01:37if they are proven to be smuggled.

01:39At present, the products are still on hold in the BOC.

01:43For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, your witness.
