In a statement on Facebook on Thursday, June 11, 2020, BOC – Cebu Port announced that the value of the alleged fake cigarettes amounted to P76 million.
The boxes containing the cigarette packs, they said, were found inside one container van. Based on the photos posted by BOC – Cebu Port, each box was stamped with an illustration of kitchen utensils such as cooking pots and oval dishes.
