Squabbles delay disposal of seized goods

“Disagreements” with other  government agencies and bidding  “syndicates” delay the disposal of confiscated goods, especially perishable commodities such as rice, Bureau of Customs (BOC) Commissioner Rozzano “Ruffy” Biazon admitted on Tuesday.

In a statement sent to the media, Biazon claimed that current “policy differences” among the various government agencies and departments have been dragging efforts to dispose off confiscated goods.
