The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) has seized suspected smuggled rice worth P 120 million.

PCG Spokesperson Commander Armand Balilo says, the contrabands were confiscated after the Coast Guard inspected a Liberian-flagged vessel travelling in Zamboanga Sibugay.

The operation was triggered by a tip received by the PCG.

The boat captain claims, they were heading to Cagayan de Oro.

He, however, failed to show document showing the origin and destination of his cargoes.
