Faeldon accuses 2 senators of making ‘illegal requests’ when he was Customs chief

FORMER Customs commissioner Nicanor Faeldon accused on Monday two senators who allegedly made “illegal requests” from him when he was still head of the Bureau of Customs (BoC), one of whom he even rejected.

At the resumption of the Senate blue ribbon committee hearing on the “tara” (payoff) system at the BoC, Faeldon accused Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon and Senate Majority Leader Vicente Sotto 3rd of asking “illegal favors.”
