DOJ backs Senate bill on smuggling as economic sabotage
MANILA, Philippines–The Department of Justice (DOJ) has thrown its support behind a Senate bill that would redefine smuggling as a form of economic sabotage and impose heavier penalties on offenders. In a letter to Sen. Juan Edgardo Angara, ways and means committee chair, Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said she believed the measure amending Presidential Decree No. 1464, or the 1978 Tariff and Customs Code of the Philippines, was timely.
