A raid of a warehouse in Taguig City led by the Customs yielded more or less 500 grams of suspected cocaine pegged at 2.65 million.

BOC agents found other illegal items, such as kush, vape cartridges with suspected marijuana oil and other paraphernalia in the raid of Unit 1307 of a storage facility at AFP-RSBS Industrial Park, Km. 12, East Service Road.

The raid was in connection with the recent joint operation also led by the BOC in Ayala Alabang Village, Muntinlupa City, on 18 November, where a total of P149.6-million shabu was hauled.

The seized evidence will be turned over to PDEA Laboratory Service "for qualitative and quantitative examination" and also for the filing of appropriate charges.

Customs Commissioner Yogi Filemon Ruiz said the accuracy of the reports they gathered enabled them to act immediately upon the issuance of his Letter of Authority (LOA).

"One of our best assets is the partnership we have with different government agencies. We maximize that relationship by bringing information to the table and acting on it immediately. That's also why many of our operations against illegal drugs, in particular, have been successful… because we have an all-hands-on-deck approach," Ruiz said.

"Since assuming this position, my standing order—and I have been very firm on this—is for the BOC and other partner agencies to pour all our resources against contrabands, especially illegal drugs," he added.
