Onions, other veggies from abroad need clearances, Filipino travelers warned

The BOC-Naia posted the warning after several social media posts and news reports showed Filipino travelers and migrant workers now packing pricey vegetables, like onions, as pasalubong instead of the usual chocolates and delicacies.Another Facebook post on Monday also showed that BOC-Naia was able to seize onions and assorted fruits from 10 flight attendants coming in from Dubai and Riyadh.

The flight attendants had no clearances for the items, which are considered “regulated importations” under the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act, according to the Facebook post.

Eh, bakit umiepal ang mga pilitiko? Gagawa sila ng batas na di naman pala nila gustong ipatupad!

Pwede maguwi mga delata chocolate bread pero sibuyas hindi pala pwede ay.

Get clearance? And it's becoming an option ha whaaaat. Hindi pasalubong na sibuyas from abroad ang sagot dito 🫠🙃🫣

But smugglers (legal) need not apply for permits.

Pwede naman po basta abutan lang sila.😂

Kinumpara ba naman chocolate sa sibuyas. Pag tinanim mo ba yong chocolate, tutubo😅

bongbongmarcos proud talaga kami sayo Mr. DA Secretary. ❤️✌️🤡

Suspected rin yang BOC. Dapat tanggalin na sila lahat dyan sa pwesto. Ano ba ginagawa nyo dyan. Ilan na luxury cars nyo sa bahay? Parang tourist lang mga smugglers. Labas-pasok dito.

Pag pinayagab kasi nila yan mlulugi daw.mga smugglers.saka mawawalan sila ng raket kya ayan ung mga pasalubong ang pinagdiskitahan.solusyunan ninyo kasi ang puno't dulo ng problemang ito kung bakit umabot sa gnitong sitwasyon na gusto nila mgpasalubong ng sibuyas.

Pero pwede smuggling correct? :)

Baket bawal, sibuyas lang Naman Yan..Di ba kau nahihiya Ang Presidente naten, sibuyas Ang pasulubong Ng OFW naten sa pamilya nila? shame on you! Ayusin nio kc pamamalakad nio sa DA.

pwro pag droga ok lang basta anak ng nasa pwesto LOL

Mukhang alam na, may grupo na nananadya ipitin ang sibuyas, may kumikita na naman 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lol…matagal naman na po kasing bawal yang pagpuslit ng plant/plant products. Try doing this in another country, let’s see where that gets you. Kung gusto po ninyong lumaban ng patas, magtanim na sa inyong bakuran.

BOC sucks

😄🙄😁😅🤔🤪😜 — Smugglers’ reaction

Sa mga katropa kong Marino, huwag ng raid'in ang cold store room ni mayor ng sibuyas, baka masita lang custong sa airport. 😅😂🤣😁

Pasalubong, di pwd pero smuggling ng mga cartel, pwd? 😫😫 So, di na rin pwd mgpasalubong ng mamahaling chocolate, alak, bag, etc kasi mamahalin? E di maglagay kau ng onions sa duty-free shops.

So dapat walang magawa ang tao sa problema at dapat magdusa?

Anong mas tamang gawin? Ipagbawal ang mga cartel o ipagbawal ang pasalubong?

So papano pag yung vegetable na yun available lang doon sa country na iyun? Exag ng bureau of customs.

Hoy BOC! Mali ang priority niyo! Unahin niyo ang mga big time smuggler!

GabrielLaluINQ Common sense. SINCE THEY HAVE NO PERMIT, DESTROY IT. END OF THE STORY.

GabrielLaluINQ Ang OA nyo

GabrielLaluINQ Syempre yung karaniwang tao lang kaya i-bully ng BOC. Puno pa bibig nila ng napakaraming tite ng mga big time smugglers eh
