uncontrolled vehicle smuggling

[ale828]

Problem is smuggled cars also have an OR and CR. And the LTO has no way of knowing if it is smuggled kasi may OR/CR siya. They can't even check if the OR/CR is legit or smuggled yung car.

--If an agency of our government who supposedly has the expertise on detecting whats a legit or illegal or/cr --cannot perform its duty--dapat dyan i-abolish na lang yan.
--Sa laki ng kinikita nyang opisina na yan (after I think sa BIR at BOC) di sila makagawa ng paraan kung paano ma-detect ang illegal??!!!Susmaryosep!!!

Grabe winasak na yung mga kotse just a few months ago, di pa rin nadala, may napuslit na naman grabe talaga katakawan ng mga tao sa Subic customs!!!

Palace group-Customs row on smuggled cars worsens By Joyce Pangco Pañares
Manila Standard Jan 14, 2008

THE quarrel between Malacañang and Customs worsened yesterday after the Palace blamed a Customs official for the continuing smuggling at the agency.The Presidential Anti-Smuggling Group called a ranking Customs official the “godfather of smuggling” in the country, blaming him for the continuing operation of 37 people who allegedly smuggle luxury cars from Metro Manila and Cebu alone.

He named a Romy Ronquillo in particular, who is accused of operating car centers in Xavierville, Quezon City, and in Ortigas, Pasig City, that allegedly offer smuggled luxury vehicles.

Villar said Ronquillo had even dropped the name of presidential son and Pampanga Rep. Juan Miguel Arroyo, Villar’s godson, to warn his group to leave him alone.

Last month, Villar’s group seized 81 luxury cars from an automobile firm in Makati City, of which three reportedly were owned by San Juan Mayor Jose Victor Ejercito.
Albay Rep. Al Francis Bichara reportedly owned four of the smuggled vehicles, while comedian Willie Revillame admitted owning a 2006 Ferrari, which was declared as being worth only P1 million. With Joel E. Zurbano

Bukod sa mga politiko ( mayor, congressman) at mayayaman (mahilig sa luxury cars) ang parokyano ng smuggled car, pati pala comedian kasama sa illegal na racket na ito. Bakit hindi sila bumili sa lehitimong importer? Sumasama pa sila sa mga listahan ng economic saboteurs na sinusugpo ng administration ni Pres. Arroyo....
