THE ANTI-RED Tape Authority (ARTA) is planning to open a one-stop processing shop at the Matnog Port in Sorsogon by June after receiving complaints from motorists of congestion and under-the-table transactions to get loading priority.
The Matnog Port in the southeastern tip of Luzon, ARTA said, is considered as a “funnel” to Mindanao. Most cargo being transported between Luzon and the Visayas and Mindanao pass through Matnog.
Cargo trucks are being asked to pay fees of up to P8,000 for a slot in a priority list to board roll-on, roll-off vessels faster, ARTA said in a press release on Tuesday.

China’s reported overuse of antibiotics in its fisheries products threatens food safety in the Philippines, which imports billions worth of seafood products from the world’s second-largest economy every year.
In a virtual briefing on Monday, Asis Perez, convenor of food security advocacy group Tugon Kabuhayan, raised concerns over the study recently published in the journal Marine Environmental Science, revealing that China has dumped large quantities of antibiotics into the ocean.
According to the study, the amount of antibiotics found along China’s 32,000-kilometer coastline is equivalent to 20,000 penicillin tablets dropped in a standard-sized swimming pool.
