Self-confessed Bureau of Customs (BOC) fixer Mark Taguba resumes his testimony at the hearing of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee on Monday.

Using slides, he enumerated his exchange of text messages with his contacts as the BOC.

He engaged in these communications after one of his shipments was put on alert last year.

The alert order was lifted after he paid his BOC contacts "tara" or grease money.

Among the alleged contacts he named was a certain Gemma Castillo, who supposedly was from BOC's Command Center (ComCen).

Resigned Customs Deputy Commissioner Gerardo Gambala headed the Comcen.

He previously said there was no Gemma Castillo in his office.

The senate is continuing its investigation into the smuggling of P 6.4-billion worth of shabu from China last May.
