Corruption at Bureau of Customs of the Philippines

It’s like being slapped in the face.

This was President Benigno Aquino III’s angry reaction to the continuing corruption at the Bureau of Customs despite measures put in place by former Commissioner Angelito Alvarez and the latter’s successor, Ruffino Biazon.

Apologizing early on to those who might be offended by what he was about to say, the President expressed his displeasure at the horror stories of corruption involving the bureau and its personnel, in his speech at the agency’s 110th anniversary celebration Monday. – by PDI
