MANILA, Philippines -- Smuggling syndicates behind the illegal entry of vegetables and other agriculture products would be charged within a year and imprisoned within six years if Sen.

“Nanawagan po ako sa ating mga magsasaka, mangingisda, at pati sa ating poultry at hog raisers na tulungan kami ni Sen. Lacson na mailuklok bilang pangulo at pangalawang pangulo ng ating bansa nang tuluyan na natin maipahinto at mapakulong ang mga sindikato sa likod ng agricultural smuggling dito sa ating bansa,” he added.

“Nakakalungkot na sa loob ng anim na taon ng Duterte administration ay bokya ang naging conviction rate ng ating pamahalaan sa kabila ng pagkakahuli ng napakaraming suspected smugglers. Imbes na sila ay mapakulong, namayagpag pa ang mga masasamang loob na ito at naging lantaran pa ang kanilang iligal na pag-aangkat ng mga agricultural products. Hindi mangyayari ito sa ilalim ng Lacson-Sotto administration. Babaguhin namin ang bulok na sistemang ito ng pamahalaan,” Sotto said.
