Around P2 million worth of cigarettes were confiscated in Malabon City due to alleged trademark violations.
The operation, conducted by the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) last Friday in Barangay Potrero, resulted in the arrest of a Chinese national identified as Ziqiang.
Ziqiang was apprehended for allegedly selling and trading 33 master cases of counterfeit and trademark-infringing cigarettes without the owner's permission.
The suspect is now facing charges for violating Republic Act 8293, also known as the Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines.
