BOC seizes P15.8B worth of counterfeit goods in Divisoria

The Bureau of Customs (BOC) seized over P15.8 billion worth of counterfeit products in Divisoria, Manila, confiscating more than 1.727 million pieces.

The operation targeted warehouses within a complex and involved counterfeit bags, clothes, and accessories bearing trademarks of popular brands like Guess, Michael Kors, Coach, Louis Vuitton, and Tory Burch.

This action is part of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s directive to eliminate illegal trade and protect Filipino consumers.

BOC Commissioner Bienvenido Rubio affirmed the agency's commitment to keeping counterfeit goods out of the country to protect the public and support legitimate businesses.

Legal counsel for Guess Philippines, Kristian Nico Acosta, warned the public about the health, safety, and economic risks associated with counterfeit products.
