Gobyerno, Iniipit ang Med Supplies Donations na Hindi Pinadaan sa Kanila. Tambak Ngayon sa Customs - Locsin

MANILA, Philippines – Ibinulgar ni Department of Foreign Affairs Secretary Teddy Boy Locsin na nirerequire ngayon na lahat ng shipments ng dinonate na medical supplies ay kailangan dumaan sa gobyerno “for disposition”. Kung hindi daw ay ihohold ito ng Bureau of Customs.

ALL DONATIONS FOR MED SUPPLIES MUST GO TO GOVERNMENT FOR DISPOSITION. Private hospitals cannot receive them. They can buy from abroad but their shipments will be detained by CUSTOMS. THE doctors and HCWs are too busy getting exposed to do the paperwork. FIX THIS, PUTANGINA.

Ito ay kahit na napakalaki ng kakulangan ng medical supplies sa bansa sa kabila ng pagkalat ng COVID-19

Binulgar din ni Locsin na ilang toneladang Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE’s) ang kasalukuyang naka-hold sa Bureau of Customs ngayon na hindi inilalabas sa kabila ng malaking kakulangan sa PPEs ng mga ospital.

If PGH and other frontline medical personnel are looking for PPEs, they are in Customs warehouse, tons of them. Go get them there. PGH is an arm of government and entitled to take them.

Agad namang pinabulaanan ng Bureau of Customs (BOC) si Locsin.

“In the midst of issues that Bureau of Customs (BOC) is holding and delaying the release of essential medical supplies and equipment in its warehouses, the BOC clarifies that there is no such incident at any of its ports or warehouses,”

“The Bureau assures the public that the processing of shipments containing medical supplies and relief goods are being done expeditiously especially during this time of emergency. The Bureau also activated a BOC Assistance Desk to expedite the clearance and immediate release of said shipments,”

– Opisyal na pahayag ng BOC.

Ngunit ayon naman sa mga readers namin na nagtatrabaho sa mga forwarding at freight companies, totoo daw na pahirapan at paiyakan ngayon sa customs.

Dapat masolusyonan agad ito ng gobyerno ngayon.
