A PARTY-LIST lawmaker urged Wednesday members of the House of Representative to conduct an inquiry on the alleged smuggling of tobacco products into the country. AAMBIS-Owa Party-list Representative Sharon Garin said that the government has been losing some P15.6 billion pesos in revenue annually in the illegal smuggling operations of tobacco products. Garin filed House Resolution 1542 directing the House committee on ways and means to conduct an inquiry to ensure that the government properly collects the revenues from tobacco products.
