The Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) of the Philippine National Police says its Eastern District Field Unit, part of the CIDG's National Capital Region unit, arrested a trader in Barangay Malinta, Valenzuela City, at 3:20 a.m. on 5 November, working with representatives of the trade mark owner. Officers seized brake pump cables, suspensions, gas cylinder hoses, handle grips and other motorcycle accessories that they allege are counterfeit or trade mark infringing, with an estimated value of ₱5,020,500.

The suspect, a 47-year-old Chinese national identified only as "Quing", was arrested for selling, distributing and holding the goods without the trade mark owner's authorisation. He faces cases under Republic Act 8293, the Intellectual Property Code, and Republic Act 7394, the Consumer Act. [1], [2]

The Philippine Star reports that the businessman had been under surveillance after a company accused him of selling counterfeit products under its brand. CIDG chief Maj. Gen. Robert Alexander Morico II urged consumers and trade mark owners to report counterfeiting in their communities. Neither report names the brand or the company, or says where the goods came from or how they were sold. [2]
