Cigarette smuggling causes the government to lose an estimated P30 billion to P60 billion to excise taxes, according to Ilocos Sur Second District Rep. Kristine Singson-Meehan, citing data from Albay Rep. Joey Salceda. | JMangaluzINQ
Candon City is home to 1,500 tobacco farmers who depend on the crop for livelihood. However, both the demand and production of tobacco have been on the decline, according to Singson.
“They would agree at first: ‘Let us try.” Not all, but a few — but we have to compel them. But their profits were not what they used to be,” Singson said. Singson-Meehan has expressed support for House Bill 3917, filed by Ilocos Norte First District Rep. Ferdinand “Sandro” A. Marcos III, which proposes the inclusion of tobacco products in the Anti-Agricultural Smuggling Act of 2016.
