Senator Pangilinan alleges Chinese smugglers operate freely in the Philippines due to official collusion, citing unprosecuted seizures worth billions.
Senator Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan accused Chinese smugglers of operating with impunity in the Philippines, citing collusion between syndicates and government officials across multiple agencies.
During a October 20, 2025, Senate hearing, he highlighted a P68-million frozen mackerel shipment misdeclared as chicken poppers, noting no major smuggler has been prosecuted despite seizures worth P3.78 billion since 2024.
He called the smuggling a form of economic sabotage and criticized systemic failures in enforcement and accountability.
