Some 30 million kilos of pork might have been smuggled into the Philippines last year, Senator Francis Pangilinan said Thursday.

Some 256 million kilos pork entered the country last year based on Bureau of Animal Industry data but only 225 million kilos were accounted for in Bureau of Customs records, according to Pangilinan.

"Pumasok sa BAI pero walang record sa BOC ang lumalabas. Kung hindi dumaan sa kanila, paano nila papatawan ng buwis, ng taripa." Several senators have opposed President Rodrigo Duterte's order to impose lower tariffs on imported pork in the next 12 months.
