The reported selling of balikbayan boxes online is covered by a service agreement involving the sender, the Bureau of Customs (BOC) said Friday, citing initial results of its investigation. "'Yun pong mismong pinapakita ay kahon mula sa kumpanya… ito po ay binenta sa ilalim po ng service agreement ng mga senders. Ito po kasi ay parang promo. Sa initial report po, lumilitaw po na ito ay promo na ship now, pay later," BOC acting deputy commissioner Michael Fermin said in an interview on Unang Balita. (The boxes showed were from a company… these were sold under a service agreement with the senders. There was a promo. Based on the initial report, it showed that the promo is a ship now, pay later.) "So ibig sabihin, nagbabayad lang po sila ng downpayment abroad at pagdating po dito, kailangan nilang bayaran 'yung balanse upon delivery po," he added. (This means that they will pay a downpayment abroad and the remaining balance must be paid upon delivery.) As
