The Government Can Sue Marilyn Canta of Tag Cargo
The delivery of the stranded containers containing balikbayan boxes from Kuwait is finally about to begin.
The issue of abandoned balikbayan boxes from Tag Cargo is the longest we have handled so far, and it will be almost a year in June.
It’s also the largest number so far
as we are talking about twenty-five containers here, surpassing the eighteen containers from Allwin Cargo from Kuwait, which was the first complaint we handled regarding abandoned balikbayan boxes.
This is also one of the main reasons why its distribution was delayed because the Bureau of Customs has no budget for this.
Therefore, the agency’s leadership decided to donate it to the Department of Migrant Workers so they can distribute it to the recipients.
The distribution of P30,000 cash assistance to the victims, dubbed by the DMW as the balikbayan box scam, continues. They just need to file at the DMW office for this.
Meanwhile, while the government is having a headache over this problem and the senders of the boxes are grieving, the root cause of this problem, Marilyn Canta, is still at large.
Marilyn Canta is the owner of Tag Cargo, which our compatriots in Kuwait trusted for their shipments.
No one can say where Canta is now, but we have information that she is still in Kuwait. She is reportedly married to a Kuwaiti national businessman there.
The committee in the House investigating the abandoned balikbayan boxes should summon Canta to explain why she has not paid the deconsolidators of her shipments in the country.
Marilyn Canta should also be sued for the inconvenience she caused to the government and those who trusted her.
