Consumers group calls for ‘all-out war’ against smuggling
A consumers’ group has called for an “all-out war” against smuggling, saying it has a dire effect on the poorest members of the population “just like illegal drugs.”
Rodolfo “RJ” Javellana Jr., president of the civil society group United Filipino Consumers & Commuters (UFCC), said smuggling undermined state authority and government-led development by fueling corruption and hurting the economy.
“This in turn affects the livelihood opportunities and quality of life of Filipinos, especially the poor,” Javellana said in a statement.
