Police Brig. Gen. Rhodel Sermonia, Police Regional Office 3 (Central Luzon) director, said his men led by the Special Concerns Unit-Regional Intelligence Division, acting on a tip, conducted the raid at the syndicate’s lair in Barangay Sinipit.

Seized were five cigar-making machines, five packing machines, a mixing machine, a filter machine, two grinders, and several master cases of fake cigarettes valued at around P1 billion. — Raymond Africa
