Authorities arrested two people for allegedly selling imported used clothing or ‘ukay-ukay’ illegally worth more than P2 million. They were arrested during an entrapment operation in Butuan City.
About fifteen years ago (2010), there were some insinuations (should we say, proposal) to legalize the trade of “ukay-ukay” (second-hand garments and goods). It didn’t gain traction at all.
