From Inquirer - Customs official blamed for P6 billion worth of Shabu imported from Chna
The 700 kg shabu worth about P6 billion were imported through customs legally, via the green lane. Why was it possible. It turned out the culprit is the computer system which when given parameter would be allowed to pass through:
Green lane - no inspection
Yellow lane - examination of documents
Red lane - opening of the container and 100 inspection
A customs official, presumably in charge of the IT hypothesized that the system can be defeated and they may be more such shipment. But the senators who are incisive and sharp raised the question: (Trying to pull wool over the senators eyes?
1. Were the parameters observed?
2. How could a single prop company, no history of importation allowed to use the green lane
3. Why were they continued to allow importation even after they were discovered
As for Com Faeldon who deserve our highest respect, he was negligent in suspending Atty Hilario, who was even allowed to tweak the data for EMT. And yet they could not make him appear in this hearing. It appears that he was not served written suspension
Do we agree with the senators, while Faeldon owns the responsibility that either: they are incompetent or corrupt
