The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) Task Force Aduana and the Bureau of Customs (BOC) raided three establishments in Sta. Cruz, Manila to intercept hoarded medical supplies and personal protective equipment (PPE) amid the COVID-19 threat yesterday, 31 March 2020.

After presenting the Letter of Authorities (LOA's) to Wyler Enterprises, Inc., Medical Shop, and Medical Outlet, the PCG – BOC joint operatives inspected and confirmed the presence of hoarded face masks, latex gloves, goggles, thermal scanners, test tubes, syringes and other medical supplies with an estimated market value of Php 15 million.

The owners of said establishments were given 15 days to present importation documents before the BOC to refute the allegation that hoarded medical supplies and PPEs were also smuggled and overpriced.
