Nakatuon ang Senate Committee on Agriculture, Food and Agrarian Reform nitong Martes sa financial backer ng multi-bilyong agricultural smuggling sa bansa pagkatapos suriin ang arrest at unserved warrants at bilyong halaga ng ipinuslit na produktong agrikultural na  nakaugnay sa kampanya na natuklasan sa imbestigasyon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inihayag ito ni Senador Francis \u201cKiko\u201d Pangilinan sa pagtalakay ng kaso ng smuggling na nakikitang magkatulad ang pamamaraan na ginagawa sa ibang corruption scandal na kasangkot ang maraming opisyal ng pamahalaan, pribadong sektor at pulitiko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don’t believe that the PHP133 million worth of smuggled mackerel and onions that came in had no financier,\u201d aniya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kinuwestiyon ni Pangilinan ang pahayag ng ilang kompanyang sangkot sa multi-billion-peso importations na kumikilos sila nang walang financial backers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI also don’t believe that the one who imported billions of pesos like the Atara Marketing Inc. had no financier,\u201d aniya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tinalakay ng pagdinig ang dalawang privilege speeches \u2013 ni Senador Raffy Tulfo tungkol sa Rice Tariffication Law na naglalarawan ng kabiguan ng batas o may puwang sa implementasyon, at kay Pangilinan hinggil sa krisis sa agrikultura at pagkain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samantala, ikinabahala naman ni Tulfo na may ilang indibiduwal at kampanya na patuloy na nagbabalewala sa patawag ng Senado sa gitna ng lumalakas na enforcement measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cParang binabalewala ‘yung hearing natin, The scale of alleged smuggling warranted firm action,\u201d aniya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nagpalabas ang komite ng imbitasyon, subpoenas, show-cause orders, at contempt citations laban sa ilang indibiduwal at kompamya na sangkot sa anomalya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ayon kay Pangilinan, naaresto si Raiza Lumbang, ang corporate secretary ng Atara Marketing Corporation, ng Philippine National Police (PNP) sa Lubao, Pampanga at nabigyan ng provisional liberty ng komite alinsunod sa ilang pangako at patuloy na pagdalo sa pagdinig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe committee will look into Lumbang’s role in a firm that imported about PHP7 billion worth of rice in recent years and paid around PHP1.6 billion in taxes and duties, as the panel seeks to establish responsibility and accountability,\u201d aniya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aniya, nakapag-ugnayan ang komite sa Office of the Sergeant-at-Arms, National Bureau of Investigation, at PNP upang isilbi ang warrant of arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe will continue to follow this up,\u201d aniya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe ongoing inquiry in aid of legislation will continue to examine financial links, enforcement gaps, and accountability mechanisms surrounding agricultural smuggling, amid its impact on food supply, farmers\u2019 incomes, and market stability,\u201d dagdag ng senador.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
