This represents a notable improvement compared to its February 2025 collection of PHP71.765 billion, reflecting a year-on-year increase of 2.8 percent, or PHP2.033 billion.
The February performance has brought the BOC recorded total collections of PHP154.747 billion, representing a 2.5 percent increase, or PHP3.729 billion, compared to the same period last year.
Customs Commissioner Ariel F. Nepomuceno underscored the Bureau’s commitment to sustaining and building upon this momentum, while recognizing the collective effort and contribution of the men and women of the BOC behind the achievement.
“The entire Bureau delivered more than the expected financial target for February. This is contrary to the expectation that, during the month of the Chinese New Year, bumababa yung collection natin. But we were able to prove, with the efforts of everyone, especially our port collectors, that it can be done—with the proper assessment, with the stricter implementation of enforcement rules, and with the due diligence of our deputy commissioners, who keep on budging everyone to collect properly. So, again, thank you and congratulations to the Bureau for achieving our collection target more than the expectation,” Nepomuceno said.
Moving forward, the Bureau remains committed to further enhancing its systems and processes to ensure sustained revenue performance in support of the country’s fiscal stability and development agenda.
