MANILA, Philippines — Charges have been filed against local courier firm J&T for violating several of the country’s laws, including labor-related laws, Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Gen. Archie Gamboa revealed Monday. ADVERTISEMENTThe PNP Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG), which was tasked to investigate J&T Express’ alleged mishandling of packages, submitted its report to the PNP chief last July 14, finding sufficient grounds for the police to file charges against the company. Gamboa did not specify what labor laws J&T Express was violating. Because of that violation there is a closure order and actual pictures have been taken to implement such a closure order,” the PNP chief said. The PNP investigating unit is now looking into the operations of other provincial hubs of J&T Express to see whether they are also violating laws and local ordinances.
