Solon seeks congressional probe on cigarette smuggling in PHL
A lawmaker has asked Congress to investigate the illicit trade of cigarettes in the country, which cost the government close to P16 billion in uncollected taxes last year. In an effort to plug revenue loss, AAMBIS-Owa party-list Rep. Sharon Garin has filed House Resolution 1542 – calling on the House Ways and Means committee to probe into the smuggling of tobacco products.
