IN PHOTOS: President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr., together with Finance Secretary Ralph G. Recto, led the condemnation of PHP 3.26 billion-worth of electronic vapes, vape parts, and accessories seized and forfeited by the Bureau of Customs (BOC) to warn the public against smuggling.
The BOC successfully destroyed 2,977,925 pieces of seized and forfeited vape products on April 7, 2025. They were confiscated through the conduct of 10 seizure operations led by the Port of Manila (POM), Manila International Container Port (MICP), and the Intelligence Group (IG) in 2024.
The effort is in accordance with Republic Act No. 11900 or the Vaporized Nicotine and Non-Nicotine Products Regulation Act, which mandates strict adherence to regulations concerning the importation, distribution, and taxation of vaporized nicotine, non-nicotine, and tobacco products.
This is to ensure that only safe and compliant products reach Filipino consumers.
