MALACAYENANG yesterday said it would not bare the contents of the list of big-time smugglers in the country which a leading business group wants to publicize as an added deterrent against this illegal activity.

In a phone interview with reporters, Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye said that the list of big-time smugglers drawn up by Customs Commissioner George Jereos would be treated "with confidence."

'Order of battle'

Federation of Philippine Industries president Jesus Arranza, however, questioned Malaca[currency]ang's decision to make the list of big-time smugglers a closely guarded secret.

"If the individuals have been under surveillance for some time and the BOC has the goods on them, I think the government can safely reveal their names as suspects in its anti-smuggling campaign," Arranza said.
