                    [Summary] => Local industry leaders urged Congress yesterday to speed up the passage of a bill which would provide stiffer penalties to smugglers.


Jesus Arranza, president of the Federation of Philippine Industries (FPI), said smugglers have been responsible for the decline of local industries and enterprises aside from cheating the government of some P40 billion in taxes annually.

Arranza said the country’s anti-smuggling laws are deemed to be "too easy" for smugglers since it only slaps a fine on the offender without being imprisoned.
