SUBIC BAY Freeport: Three boxes full of different
cellular phone units were put on hold for alleged misdeclaration at
the Subic Bay International Airport Friday afternoon.
Manila Times sources said the
boxes containing the said cell phones were on board a FedEx flight,
adding that these were declared only as communication equipment and
that the owner only paid P48,000.
It was upon inspection of Customs
authorities that the contents of the three boxes were ascertained as
full of different cell phone units.
Sources at the airport added that
the assessment of the boxes containing the cell phone units was
deliberately undervalued, while its street value was estimated at
around P700,000 to P1 million.
The source however did not reveal
the name of the owner but only said that he was from Barangay Del
Rosario, Pilar, Bataan.
The boxes were not accompanied
with permits coming from the National Telecommunications Commission
for the said units.
The confiscated units are now in
the custody of Customs Subic for safekeeping and proper evaluation.
