President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, together with CEZA A/CEO Sec. Raul Lambino, leads the destruction of the contraband vehicles on March 14, 2018 at Port Irene, Sta. Ana, Cagayan Special Economic Zone and Freeport.

In his speech, President Duterte said, “This condemnation of these smuggled vehicles demonstrates our firm stand to put an end to a longstanding societal disease that has eroded public trust and tainted the government’s sincerity to deliver equitable social services.” He also added that it also “signifies our strong resolve to restore good governance, preserve our nation’s dignity, and safeguard our people’s welfare.”
