During the inauguration, customs officers of the Currimao subport acknowledged their top importers and stakeholders for helping transform their mother unit, the collection district of Aparri, into a “billionaire port.”
BOC-Aparri district collector Elenita Abaño noted the collection district has already collected more than double its annual revenue collection target of P400 million in June 2022, of which 80% has been contributed by the Currimao subport.

Aside from the Currimao subport, offices for the subports of Port Irene and Laoag International Airport will also be inaugurated soon.
