LEONEN, J.
Customs searches, as exception to the requirement of a valid search warrant, are allowed when "persons exercising police authority under the customs law . . . effect search and seizure ... in the enforcement of customs laws."[154] The Tariff and Customs Code provides the authority for such warrantless search, as this court ruled in Papa, et at. v. Mago, et al.:[155]

In Papa vs. Mago[12] involving a customs search, we held that law enforcers who are tasked to effect the enforcement of the customs and tariff laws are authorized to search and seize, without a search warrant, any article, cargo or other movable property when there is reasonable cause to suspect that the said items have been introduced into the Philippines in violation of the tariff and customs law. They may likewise conduct a warrantless search of any vehicle or person suspected of holding or conveying the said articles, as in the case at bar.
