This is the latest news of extortion of the customs people whether they be filipino or chinese businessmen in binondo..

This happening started last friday when customs people back up by armed policemen raided the warehouse stall at Juan Luna Plaza located at corner of Meicis and Juan Luna st in Binondo, very near 168 malls which was raided also more than a year ago.

They force open those warehouse stall to check from the tenants if they have paid proper taxes from customs etc..

those who cannot produce proper receipts/ document to ascertain that their inventory in their warehouse stalls were not smuggled goods are being extorted to produce hughe sum of money or else their stocks will be confiscated.

Latest news i got was just this afternoon, all warehouse stallowners agreed and dole out P15M COLD CASH for those who raided them last week...

This is the same scheme on what had happened to 168 mall early last year..

This is so far very discouraging since they must do their job from the very beginning in the port of entry rather than having double jeopardy applied to this hapless hard working businessman, eking out a living to survive this times of firerce business competition..

WBR,
