Finance Secretary Carlos G. Dominguez III has ordered the Bureau of Customs to donate all food items fit for human consumption that it had seized to the swelling number of evacuees from Batangas and Cavite following Taal Volcano’s eruption.“I have directed the Customs to determine which confiscated and unclaimed shipments of food items in the ports are fit for human consumption so that these goods can be sent right away to the victims of Taal’s continued eruption,” Dominguez said.

The deed of donation for the food items has also been signed by Customs Commissioner Rey Leonardo Guerrero and approved by Dominguez to set in motion the process of sending the food items at once to the evacuees. “We have also coordinated with the Department of Agriculture for them to determine whether several containers of frozen fish seized at the Manila International Container Port and forfeited in favor of the government are fit for human consumption. If found to be okay, the same will be donated,” Dy Buco said in his report to Dominguez.
