Cesar V. Purisima as Secretary of the Department of Finance. FPI Chairman Jesus Lim Arranza said “Secretary Purisima is very much qualified and competent as he had previously held the positions Finance Secretary and Trade and Industry Secretary under the previous administration.” Arranza also pointed out that Purisima is well versed in tax and revenue laws, rules and regulations having had a long stint as partner of SGV & Co. Arranza who is concurrently also the Chairman of the FPI Anti-Smuggling Committee stressed that it is only under the current leadership of Sec. Purisima that the Bureau of Customs (BOC) headed by Commissioner Angelito A. Alvarez is closely coordinating with the private stakeholders particularly the Federation in the government’s drive against smuggling. He also pointed out that government was able to slap PhP100 million deficiency duties and VAT against one of the 4 importers suspected of grossly undervalued palm oil. These four companies are now being audited by the BOC’s Post Entry Audit Group (PEAG) led by Atty. Jun Ligon and their importations are now being monitored, Arranza said. “The discovery of large scale ‘technical smuggling’ on the part of these scrupulous palm oil importers was due to the strong partnership of the Federation and the BOC”, Arranza said Arranza added that while the CIIF Oil Mills Group which he heads has imported and declared imported palm oil products at US$1,300/MT, these scrupulous 4 companies declared their importations at only between US$200 to US$300/MT or a difference of US$1,100.
