Manila Bulletin reported that 28 shipping container vans loaded with substandard steel products have been spirited out from Manila ports through public auction in alleged connivance with Bureau of Customs (BOC) officials. A highly reliable source in BOC disclosed on Wednesday that the 28 containers of steel angle bars, 25 of them consigned to Thunder Birds Trading and three to GTB Industrial Network, were auctioned off even as these were not certified by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).
A copy of a letter obtained by Manila Bulletin confirmed the release of the “uncertified angle bars” of the two firms in a bidding held last Aug. 8, 2014 and May 21.
The Steel Angles, Shapes and Sections Manufacturers Association of the Philippines, Inc. (SASSMAPI) wrote BOC Commissioner Alberto Lina about the sale and pending auction of uncertified angle bars, which the agency’s Intelligence Group seized.
“The said auction was released from BOC without cutting/destruction of angle bars into non-commercial length by the winning bidder and did not undergo magna scale,” Ramon Tan, SASSMAPI Vice President for External Affairs, said.
Tan told Lina that there are 47 containers of steel products, in which 18 containers were inspected by joint BOC, DTI, and industry representatives are up for auction.
“Another 102 containers are waiting for the final decision,” he said.
