The Philippine National Police-Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (PNP-CIDG) said it seized more than P.9.1 million worth of unregistered vape products during a raid in Marilao, Bulacan on Tuesday.
The raiders also arrested a Chinese national identified only as Ping for allegedly selling vapes without the required permit from the Department of Trade and Industry.
“With this confiscation in huge quantity, we significantly protect the citizens from any potential health hazards that may occur from these unregistered vape products, and we arrested the alleged seller of these illicit items,” CIDG chief Maj. Gen. Nicolas Torre III said.
“We urge the public to report all illegal trading of any products in your localities and the CIDG will do the rest,” Torre added.
