Anti-smuggling task force eyed in Benguet

ITOGON, Benguet: The municipal government is pushing for the creation of a Benguet anti-smuggling task force to be deployed in the Bureau of Customs to help monitor the entry of smuggled vegetables.

Itogon Mayor Victorio Palangdan said it is high time for the provincial government to hire dedicated personnel who will comprise the Benguet anti-smuggling task force to ensure no smuggled vegetables will enter the country that can cause sudden drop in prices of locally grown crops.
