AGRICULTURE Under-secretary Domingo Panganiban was haled to the Office of the Ombudsman by a group of sugar workers for his role in the alleged illegal importation of sugar in February 2023.
The groups dubbed the series of acts that led to the entry of imported sugar into the country—before the documents authorizing such —as the “Sugar Smuggling Fiasco.” Panganiban allegedly allowed the importation of sugar without official authority to do so, and “legitimized” smuggled sugar belonging to All Asian Countertrade Inc.
The groups allege that on February 9, 2023, at least 260 x 20ft containers containing sugar arrived in Batangas Port without import permits, allegedly owned by All Asian Countertrade Inc. “Panganiban used his position as the Senior Undersecretary of the Department of Agriculture to direct three importers including All Asian Countertrade Inc. to import sugar without the necessary Sugar Order [SO] as early as January 2023,” the complainants said.
