Customs’ Lost opportunity

So the Duterte administration is desperately looking for funds to tide a lot of people over their miseries these days, ha?

There are thousands of overseas Filipino workers coming home from Kuwait without any hope of finding decent employment hereabouts and depending only on any financial help the government can afford to give; hundreds of families whose children were injected with Dengvaxia needing but finding little hope for financial and medical assistance, etc.

Name any government agency and all they ever talk about is how to get the money to fund much-needed projects and services.

Yet, the Bureau of Customs had the opportunity to help by auctioning off smuggled goods and vehicles worth hundreds of millions of pesos but chose to destroy them! Seriously, what kind of nuts are running this government?
