25 Customs cops sacked for smuggling
The District Commander of the Bureau of Customs (BoC) in the Port of Subic and his 24 agents were relieved en masse on Monday in connection with a series of petty smuggling activities.
The relief of Captain Ramon Policarpio, which was presided over by Colonel Nestorio Gualberto, Director of Customs Police, was effected following the turnover rites at the BoC headquarter.
Policarpio was relieved for this command responsibility.
The new customs district commander here is Captain Mariano Biteng, Jr.
Under Customs Personnel Order (CPO) No. B-41-07, dated April, 2007, Customs Commissioner Napoleon Morales instructed Colonel Gualberto to relieve the entire customs police force assigned to Subic freeport.
It also mandated the reassignment of Policarpio as Deputy District Commander at the Port of Cebu, while his men were to be transfered to the different ports in the National Capital Region.
The relief order stemmed from an recent incident in March 2007, where a Customs policeman and an element of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) Law Enforcement Division were caught escorting four vehicles loaded with an estimated P2 million worth of imported cigarettes and liquor.
It will be recalled that SA1 Jesus Swing of the ESS/Customs police, was nabbed by the AntiSmuggling Tsk Force with 6 other civilians, while escorting a load of highly taxable goods which tried to exit at the SBMA gate towards Morong, Bataan.
The smuggled goods consisted of 101 boxes of imported Champion cigarettes, each containing 500 reams; 300 bottles of Elysee sparkling wine; and 120 bottles of Jose Cuervo margarita mix. (PNA)
