Migrante chairperson Connie Bragas-Regalado said they want BOC chief Alberto Lina and other "corrupt officials" of the bureau to resign over their alleged unreasonable anti-OFW plan of randomly inspecting balikbayan boxes.
She said instead of going after OFWs who send hard-earned remittances and balikbayan boxes back home, the BOC should go after big-time smugglers of rice, sugar, cars, and other contraband items.
The group also called on the BOC to shelve its plan of a P600-million revenue target from balikbayan boxes and stop imposing illegal fees, placement fees, and tax fees on OFWs.
