Pinay boxer Jujeath Nagaowa had the shock of her life after the Bureau of Customs told her to pay almost P6,000 tax to claim her championship belt. Nagaowa fought 10 rounds to earn the championship belt, only now the champ has to shell out P5,819.00 tax money just to claim it.

Balikbayan Box Philipines: Custom Tax and Inspection of OFW Padala

Bukod sa ipon na pera, ang Balikbayan Box ay isang paraan para mapadama ang pagmamahal sa pamilya na nasa Pinas. Pampalubag loob din ito, laban sa homesickness ng isang OFW. Tapos ganito? Bawat delata sa isang balikbayan box ay pinaghirapan yan tapos ipapadala na lang sa pamilya sa Pinas, bukod sa tax at inspection, anu pa ba restrictions ang gusto ng government? Our OFWs deserve better! #balikbayanbox
