Undercover agents of the Philippine National Police-Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (mostly wearing shorts) pose as buyers, while one of the agents documents the contraband items with the suspects (in black shirt and black shorts and floral-printed clothes). The two suspects will be charged with violation of Republic Act 8293 or the Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines. Intensifying the campaign against illicit tobacco, operatives of the PNP-CIDG with the assistance of policemen in the area caught the suspects—a Chinese national and his Filipina partner—on April 15 while in the act of selling assorted counterfeit cigarettes in Barangay Ermita, Carbon, Cebu City.
