The Bureau of Customs (BOC), under the leadership of Commissioner Ariel F. Nepomuceno, sustained its strong revenue performance in June 2026, collecting ₱86.073 billion, surpassing its monthly target of ₱83.220 billion by ₱2.853 billion. This brought the BOC’s total revenue surplus for the first half of 2026 to ₱11.478 billion, with cumulative collections reaching ₱491.748 billion, exceeding the January-to-June target of ₱480.270 billion by 2.4%.
Compared to the ₱77.035 billion collected in June 2025, the Bureau’s June 2026 collections posted an 11.7% growth, equivalent to an increase of ₱9.037 billion.
Based on preliminary records, the BOC collected ₱491.748 billion from January to June 2026, representing a 7.2% increase, or ₱32.977 billion, over the ₱458.771 billion collected during the same period in 2025.
The achievement comes as Commissioner Nepomuceno marks his first year at the helm of the BOC, highlighting a year characterized by stronger revenue collection, intensified border protection, digital transformation initiatives, and institutional reforms anchored on the BOC’s Integrity, Accountability, and Modernization (IAM) Movement.
Commissioner Nepomuceno expressed his gratitude to the men and women of the Bureau, emphasizing that the milestone belongs to every customs employee who continues to uphold the agency’s mandate with integrity and dedication.
“Ang bawat pisong nakolekta ay bunga ng sama-samang pagsisikap ng ating mga kawani sa lahat ng collection districts, enforcement units, at sa lahat ng offices. Maraming salamat sa inyong tiwala, dedikasyon, at malasakit sa serbisyo publiko. This milestone proves that when integrity guides our work and everyone moves toward one goal, we can effectively deliver significant results that truly benefit our country and our fellow Filipinos,” said Commissioner Nepomuceno.
The BOC’s revenue performance was driven by the collective contributions of its 17 collection districts, supported by strengthened customs enforcement, enhanced trade facilitation, improved compliance measures, and the continued modernization of customs systems and processes.
The Post-Clearance Audit Group (PCAG) likewise reinforced revenue generation by contributing ₱2.283 billion through its post-clearance audit operations.
Guided by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s directive to maximize revenue collection in support of the country’s development agenda, the BOC remains focused on sustaining its strong performance and achieving its ₱1 trillion revenue target for 2026.
