Nepomuceno said the numbers reflect more than just strong collection performance.
“To the ports that exceeded their targets, congratulations on your outstanding performance. Your achievements inspire the entire Bureau to strive harder and perform better. More importantly, I thank all our collection districts — not only those who surpassed their goals — for their collective contribution in helping the Bureau achieve its overall revenue objectives. Every effort matters, and every port plays a vital role in nation-building,” Nepomuceno said in a statement.
The commissioner called on all collection districts to sustain the momentum and press ahead with institutional reforms under the bureau’s Integrity, Accountability, and Modernization or “IAM” agenda — a framework the BOC said is designed to enhance transparency, modernize customs processes, and improve public service delivery across all ports in support of the government’s broader economic program.
