House: Smuggling = economic sabotage
A BILL defining smuggling as an act of economic sabotage is getting closer to becoming law after the House of Representatives ratified its final version in the chamber, drawing praises from a group of farmers and agriculture industry players that has been lobbying for tougher penalties for the illegal entry of agricultural products into the country. The bill has received the full support of the SamahangIndustriya ng Agrikultura (Sinag), a group of 33 farmers and agriculture associations across the country. Rep. Romero Quimbo, ways and means committee chair, said he expects President Aquino to sign the proposed Anti-Agricultural Smuggling Act into law after the House and Senate agreed to its final version in the bicameral conference level.
