The agents arrested Andy Manansala, Mel Manansala, Caesar Angeles, Evelyn, Candy Pangilinan, and Arman and Mercy Gusoso, owners of a establishment.
Seized were 1,801 counterfeit JanSport bags, two rolls of JanSport inner labels, 4,508 pieces of hand tags and labels, 25 JanSport straps and seven sewing machines valued at P4.2 millon.
The suspects will be charged for trademark infringement under the Intellectual Property Code.
