PUERTO PRINCESA CITY, Aug. 1 (PNA) -- Coast guard authorities intercepted Friday morning 1,700 bags of rice from the crewmen of a motor launch attempting to smuggle them in this city.
Initial reports from the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said the alleged smuggled bags of rice were confiscated from M/L Nathalie within the vicinity of Puerto Princesa.
The PCG report said the cargo came from Mapun, Tawi-Tawi last Wednesday.
The crewmen of M/L Nathalie were unable to show legal shipment papers. What was shown only was barangay clearance issued by a barangay councilor from Mapun, Tawi-Tawi.
The motor launch is currently under the custody of the PCG at the Puerto Princesa City Port (PPCP) while investigation is ongoing.
The PCG in close cooperation with other government agencies remain steadfast in guarding the coast of Palawan against any illegal activity, including rice smuggling.
