“We are not shutting down our operations. Our business operations are normal and on track, and it is business as usual for the company.” the retired Judge Oscar Barrientos said in a statement.

Barrientos said the day to day schedule of the Malolos-based MC factory is continuous in which has two facilities for cigarette making.

“In fact, we continue to install equipment and implement cost-efficient projects in our production line in our quest to continue to be the leader in producing low-cost quality cigarettes.” Barrientos added.

The MC executive also said criticisms against the company were “rehashed issues that had no basis in fact.”

“Efforts to cast Mighty Corp. in a bad light, to the point of resorting to outright lies, are pathetic and lamentable. Instead of focusing on improving their business processes, our competitors have resorted to waging a smear campaign against us. This is not good corporate practice.” Barrientos said.

He added that the latest issue, the supposed shutdown of operations, appeared to signal “a new low in the mudslinging campaign.”

Mighty Corporation has been accused by competitors of massive tax evasion and smuggling activities resulting to Mighty Corporation's massive increase in yield from previous years to which was staunchly denied by the WongChungKing Family, owner of Mighty Corporation.

In fact, the WongChuKing's said that they are very open for their books to be reviewed by the appropriate government agencies to finally rest all allegations from their competitors.
