“The accomplishments we are seeing today are the result of the hard work, discipline, and sacrifices of our men and women in all 17 ports across the country. I extend my sincerest gratitude to every customs personnel who continues to serve with integrity and dedication despite the challenges of the job,” Commissioner Nepomuceno said.
“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,” he added.
Commissioner Nepomuceno likewise encouraged all collection districts to sustain the momentum and continue strengthening collection efficiency, lawful trade facilitation, and institutional reforms under the Bureau’s Integrity, Accountability, and Modernization (IAM) agenda. He emphasized that through the IAM agenda, the Bureau aims to further enhance transparency, improve public service delivery, modernize customs processes, and uphold accountability across all ports in support of the government’s economic agenda and commitment to quality public service.
