The
Bureau of Customs in Cebu has burned donations intended for the survivors of
super typhoon Yolanda after these were proclaimed as abandoned.
The
destroyed items include clothes, diapers, toiletries, medical supplies and
canned goods from Belgium, Norway and the United States transported to Cebu in
2014.
Elmer
Bailio, Chief of the Auction and Cargo Disposal Division of BOC-Cebu, said to
press that the goods were not released because the consignees failed to get a
tax exemption from the Department of Finance.
“Kay
‘di naman madawat., nasira naman, nabulok naman. ‘Di madawat pud sa DSWD kay
mostly used clothings. Naa man moraturium ang DSWD,” said Bailio.
