MAYNILA - Aabot sa P350,000 halaga ng mga hindi rehistrado at expired na beauty at household products ang nakumpiska sa isang tindahan sa Mandaluyong City nitong Biyernes.

Sinalakay ng special investigators ng Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ang tindahan ng “Online Grocery PH” kasunod ng sumbong ng isang concerned citizen na nakabibili dito ng pekeng produkto.

Bulto-bulto ng hindi rehistradong sabong panlaba, dishwashing liquid, bath soap, deodorant at iba pang cosmetic products ang nasamsam ng FDA.

Nagkalat sa tindahan ang mga expired na shampoo at sabon na kanilang inire-repack sa mga bote para maibenta muli.

Nakakumpiska pa ng mga burger patty, chicken fillet, at iba’t ibang sauce na kinopya ang recipe mula sa iba’t ibang fastfood chain at kalasa umano ng orihinal.

Sa Facebook itinitinda ng 24 anyos na may-ari ang mga produkto.

Hindi raw niya alam na ilegal ang mga ito dahil nagpakita ng dokumento ang supplier.

“Ah hindi ko po alam kasi may ipinakita lang sa‘king FDA certificate. Nagma-manufacture po sila eh, tapos kumukuha lang po kami ng item," aniya.

Pagmumultahin ang may-ari at tutugisin ang supplier ng online store.

“'Pag mga selling, offering for sale ng mga unregistered, most probably nasa P50,000 to P500,000 po ‘yun," ayon sa isang FDA special investigator.

China, Philippines quarrel over South China Sea row in Munich conference

Representatives from the Philippines and China quarreled Sunday over the South China Sea during a roundtable discussion at the 61st Munich Security Conference.

Speaking at the “Making Waves: Maritime Tensions in the Indo-Pacific” roundtable, Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo asserted the Philippines remains steadfast in defending the rules-based international order and the rule of law, in particular the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).

"The basic issue here is that we are following international law. Whenever the Philippines undertakes any kind of activity within our exclusive economic zone, as defined by UNCLOS, we feel we are within our rights. But when another country, let's say, applies its own domestic laws to certain areas within our [exclusive economic zone], then it really does create the kind of tension that we have been experiencing, especially over the last two years,” Manalo said during the roundtable.


He said countries who have signed agreements such as UNCLOS should abide by these agreements. “If this is not the case, then the rich, the powerful, who will actually be in a position to assert their own laws against the weaker countries, I believe then we're in for a period of even greater tension,” he noted.

However, former Chinese vice-foreign minister Fu Ying said China cannot agree for the Philippines to occupy Second Thomas (Ayungin) Shoal and Sabina (Escoda) Shoal “because that is a violation of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea.”

“Everybody signed to it. I remember that language, not to make more moves, that language was watered down with the Filipino request in order for the Philippines to also sign up,” she said.

“So we all agreed, if the Philippines can take new rocks, how can you stop others? How can you stop China from taking more? We are capable, there is no problem. But we are exercising constraints because we are committed to this DOC. So that's a red line no one should be allowed to cross.”

For his part, Singapore Minister for Defense Ng Eng Hen noted that Chinese Coast Guard patrols have gone up to “about 2,000 ships a day, about a 20 per cent increase from last year to the previous.”

This is apart from the 200 Chinese militia vessels around disputed features, which is a 35 per cent increase from 2022, he said.

He noted that in 2014, Chinese President Xi Jinping said matters in Asia “ultimately must be resolved by Asians, and Asia's security ultimately must be protected by Asians”, which is a Monroe Doctrine.

Chinese vessels have engaged in a series of high-profile confrontations with Philippine ships in disputed waters of the South China Sea claimed by Beijing despite an international ruling that their assertion has no legal basis.
