MANILA, Philippines — Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra on Thursday said he would order the National Bureau of Investigation to run after hoarders and profiteers manipulating the prices of pork and other basic commodities.

This, after President Duterte approved the creation of a task group to go after smugglers, profiteers and hoarders of agricultural products.

The government task force on economic intelligence will be led by the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Trade and Industry.

Its member agencies include the Department of Justice (DOJ), NBI, Department of the Interior and Local Government, Philippine National Police, Bureau of Customs, Philippine Competition Commission, National Security Council and the National Intelligence Coordinating Agency.
