After alleged drug personalities, consumer watchdog United Filipino Consumers and Commuters (UFCC) now wants government to name and shame smugglers.The group in particular wants the Bureau of Customs (BOC) to release a list of cement smugglers, saying these illicit traders do not only rob the government of millions in revenue but also endanger the lives of Filipinos.
UFCC said total under-declaration of imported cement  from January to April this year alone has reached over P200 million.
