Imee Marcos Seeks Probe Into ‘Suspicious’ Rice Imports by PPI

The briefing

The Manila Times says Sen. Imee Marcos filed a resolution to investigate the importation of over 1.7 million sacks of rice by Planters Products Inc., a sequestered firm under the Agriculture Department. The inquiry aims to determine whether PPI is being used as a “backdoor” for prohibited government rice imports under the Rice Tariffication Law.
