The Bureau of Customs’ Manila International Container Port (BOC-MICP) set a new single-day collection record on April 10, with over P2 billion, surpassing its daily target by more than 80%.
The port’s total collection of P2,000,921,555 on that date was the highest ever recorded in MICP’s history, exceeding its daily benchmark by 80.85% and marking a sharp acceleration in the port’s revenue trajectory for 2026, BOC-MICP said in a press release.
Port officials credited the breakthrough to a convergence of operational improvements rolled out in recent months: tighter coordination with terminal operators and shipping lines, data-driven process efficiencies, strategic deployment of personnel to prevent service disruptions, and reinforced collaboration with partner government agencies.
District collector Felipe Geoffrey De Vera IV pointed to the collective effort behind the number.
The port also acknowledged the role of its private sector stakeholders, whose cooperation it said has been integral to keeping collection processes efficient and legitimate trade moving.
“This new record reflects the strength of our operations and the dedication of the men and women of MICP. It shows that through coordination, efficiency, and a shared commitment to public service, we are able to exceed expectations and deliver meaningful results for the Bureau and the country,” De Vera said.
BOC-MICP said the milestone comes as the BOC operates under a standing directive from President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Finance secretary Frederick Go to ramp up revenue generation in support of fiscal sustainability and national development goals.
The port said it will continue to pursue efficient revenue collection, trade facilitation, and border protection as part of its mandate.
