00:00Almost 150 workers were rescued in an illegal mining operation in Valenzuela City.
00:06Aside from the underpaid, the workers are being harassed because the warehouse is being padlocked.
00:13We have a live report with Isaiah Mirapuentes from Valenzuela City. Isaiah?
00:21You know Audrey, the news is shocking because more than 150 workers from Mindanao were rescued.
00:31But first, they found out that they will enter an illegal cigarette factory.
00:38Illegal cigarette boxes were confiscated by the Bureau of Internal Revenue and CIDG San Rafael Bulacana.
00:47The smugglers were seen in the dark and sugary factory.
00:52This is not registered at all.
00:54That's why this operation is illegal and hidden.
00:59Because when a cigarette is manufactured, it needs to be registered.
01:04Even the machines and the brands that are registered.
01:07Here, everything we saw is not registered and is illegal to operate.
01:12Most of the brands that were placed in the boxes were imported.
01:16But the parroquians don't know that the Peking Brands are only operating in the Philippines.
01:22Some of the smugglers don't have B.I.R. stamps.
01:25And if they do, they are smugglers.
01:29According to the B.I.R., the factory in San Rafael Bulacana produces and sells 750,000 packs a day.
01:39Five warehouses in Valenzuela were also attacked by the authorities.
01:42Here, illegal cigarettes are smuggled illegally in San Rafael Bulacana.
01:47But only three of the warehouses were profited.
01:50The CIDG and B.I.R. arrested more than 150 employees.
01:56Almost all of them are Filipino employees from Mindanao.
02:00Four of them are Chinese.
02:03They were promised construction work and a bus driver.
02:07They were not fooled.
02:09They were smuggled illegally.
02:12Their salary is underpaid, up to 500 pesos a day.
02:18Everything is free.
02:20We sleep and eat for free.
02:23In Mindanao, it's only 250 pesos a day.
02:27Anyone can pay for it.
02:29According to them, the factory in San Rafael Bulacana is always on alert.
02:34The factory is always on alert and they are not allowed to go out.
02:39We found out that the three Chinese are the drivers of those trucks.
02:44They have a Philippine driver's license.
02:48We are investigating them because they have a local address.
02:52The tax liabilities of the owner of the factory, which is currently being searched by the authorities,
03:00are possible to reach Mindanao.
03:07We don't like those who buy cheap products.
03:12Aside from the money we earn, we see a lot of mess.
03:17They don't have proper sanitation.
03:21Tax evasion and human trafficking is what the owner of the factory faces.
03:28This is Barangay Ugong in Valenzuela.
03:32It is one of the warehouses that smuggled illegally.
03:3514,200 mastercases were smuggled illegally by the CIDG and the BIR.
03:43As you can see behind me, the gate of this warehouse is already locked and padlocked.
03:49Any operation inside this warehouse is prohibited.
03:54Earlier, I talked to some of the employees of Peking Sigarilyo.
03:59According to them, since they started working there,
04:03they have not seen the owner of the factory.
04:09That is the latest from Valenzuela.
04:12Back to you, Audrey.
04:13Thank you very much, Isaiah Mirafuente.
