Executive Secretary Vic Rodriguez issued the warning following a raid in a warehouse in Pampanga that was suspected of hoarding thousands of sacks of sugar. 'The BOC's (Bureau of Customs) Pampanga sugar warehouse raid may very well serve as a warning to unscrupulous traders who are currently hoarding their stocks of sugar in order to profit from the current artificial sugar shortage situation,' Rodriguez was quoted as saying in a statement released by the Office of the Press Secretary (OPS).
