MANILA, Philippines — The Bureau of Customs (BOC), through the BOC-Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), successfully condemned 159,830 pieces of vape products valued at P34,112,500 in Cavite on January 17 and 20, 2025.

The shipments were forfeited following the issuance of Warrants of Seizure and Detention (WSD) for violating Republic Act No. 11900, as implemented by Department Administrative Order No. 22-16 of the Department of Trade and Industry (series of 2022), and Section 1113 (f) in relation to Sections 117 of the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act (CMTA).

The condemnation was carried out in coordination with the Auction and Cargo Disposal Division (ACDD), Enforcement and Security Service (ESS), and Customs Intelligence and Investigation Service (CIIS).

But oil prices fell as markets were unimpressed with a pledge by China’s finance minister to boost the world’s second-biggest economy.

The 91-, 182-, and 364-day T-bills fetched average rates of 5.444 percent, 5.668 percent, and 5.623 percent, respectively.

Aligned with President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.’s directive to prioritize the protection of public health and national security, the BOC continues to play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and well-being of the Filipino people against illegal and harmful goods, which threaten both the welfare of the nation and its citizens.

BOC Commissioner Bienvenido Rubio emphasized, “This condemnation underscores our commitment to protect public health and ensure compliance with our laws.”

District Collector Yasmin O. Mapa highlighted the importance of collaboration among Customs units and regulatory agencies to swiftly condemn non-compliant goods, reinforcing BOC-NAIA’s commitment to securing border protection and promoting the welfare of the people.
