Customs seizes contraband cigarettes and suspicious seasoning

People will counterfeit and smuggle anything these days.

Customs commissioner and Twitter user Ruffy Biazon has just posted a photo of himself with deputy commissioner Danilo Lim holding cigarettes seized from a warehouse in Tondo.

The estimated value of the contraband haul is around P25 million including the fake seasoning that the Customs bureau also seized but is not in the photo.

There is, apparently, a market for underground umami in this city.
