MANILA, Philippines — Over 6,300 liters of seized automotive diesel has been handed to the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) to be used for its daily operations, the agency reported on Tuesday.
PCG said the fuel, which totals to 6,375.8 liters, was seized by the Bureau of Customs from a gasoline station in Pampanga during a random field and confirmatory testing conducted in September 2021.
The seized fuel was officially turned over to the PCG last July 8 in Clark Freeport Zone in Pampanga.
