The Bureau of Customs (BOC) was recognized by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) for its enduring partnership and valuable support to the agency’s programs and initiatives during the BIR’s 122nd Anniversary Celebration, “Husay at Dangal ng Lingkod-Bayan ng BIR,” on July 31, 2026.
Assistant Commissioner Atty. Vincent Philip C. Maronilla received the recognition on behalf of the agency, reaffirming the BOC’s commitment to fostering stronger inter-agency cooperation in advancing the government’s revenue generation and public service objectives. The BIR honored the BOC as one of its valued BIR KAAGAPAY, recognizing the agency’s significant contributions to promoting service excellence anchored on integrity, professionalism, and institutional partnership.
“Ang parangal na ito ay para sa lahat ng bumubuo sa Bureau of Customs na patuloy na ginagampanan nang buong husay at integridad ang kanilang mga tungkulin. Ipinapakita rin nito ang halaga ng matibay na koordinasyon sa pagitan ng BOC at BIR sa maayos at epektibong pagpapatupad ng mga programa ng pamahalaan,” Assistant Commissioner Maronilla said.
Commissioner Ariel F. Nepomuceno welcomed the recognition as a testament to the importance of collaboration among government agencies in delivering meaningful results for the Filipino people.
“Ang pagkilalang ito ay patunay na kapag nagtutulungan ang mga ahensya ng pamahalaan, mas malaki ang ating nagagawa para sa bayan. Sa Bureau of Customs, patuloy nating isinusulong ang mga direktiba ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. na palakasin ang revenue collection, sugpuin ang katiwalian, at gawing mas mabilis, mas episyente, at mas transparent ang serbisyo sa publiko. Sa pamamagitan ng sama-samang pagkilos, mas mapapalakas natin ang tiwala ng mamamayan at maiaangat ang antas ng serbisyo para sa bawat Pilipino,” Commissioner Nepomuceno said.
Guided by Commissioner Nepomuceno’s Integrity, Accountability, and Modernization (IAM) BOC Movement, the Bureau remains committed to strengthening partnerships with fellow government agencies, advancing institutional reforms, and supporting whole-of-government efforts to enhance revenue administration, improve public service delivery, and contribute to the country’s sustainable economic development.
