Vehicle smugglers close to Arroyo

Senator Richard Gordon, the founding chair of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority, said that smuggling had gotten worse at Subic and Clark largely because of people close to Arroyo.

Gordon said one of the biggest smugglers operating out of the former American naval base was a “congressman’’ who was “very, very close to the President.’’

“This guy is not just into smuggling cars, he’s also into smuggling other commodities like fuel, alcohol and cigarettes,’’ Gordon said.
