THE Port of Manila under District Collector Rizalino Jose Torralba announced the successful conclusion of its condemnation activity involving seven container loads of assorted seized goods worth more than ₱1.65 million.

In a statement, the BOC said the 10-days condemnation activity concluded last September 15 at an accredited facility in Biñan City, Laguna.
