OVERNMENT men, particularly agents implementing the Run After Tax Evaders (RATE) campaign of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), are monitoring the movements of small-scale miners and gold traders in the Davao Region to find out where they are bringing their gold since they have stopped selling to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. Sources close to Edge Davao said that the government agents are checking reports that miners and gold traders are smuggling the precious metal out to Hong Kong and other foreign points where gold trading is brisk and prices are much higher.
