Recognizing the Bureau of Customs’ (BOC) strong revenue performance and intensified campaign against smuggling, Commissioner Ariel F. Nepomuceno received a commendation from the United Christian and Muslim Alliance (UCMA) for the agency’s ₱406 billion revenue collection from January to May 2026.
The recognition was conferred by UCMA National Convenor Apostle Mike S. Salvador, who praised Commissioner Nepomuceno’s leadership and the BOC’s continued efforts in strengthening revenue collection and promoting good governance.
“True leadership is measured not by promises but by performance. The BOC’s impressive ₱406 billion revenue collection from January to May 2026 stands as compelling evidence of visionary leadership,” Apostle Salvador said. “On behalf of UCMA, we extend our warmest congratulations and prayers for your continued success in advancing a stronger and more prosperous Philippines.”
Commissioner Nepomuceno expressed his gratitude, emphasizing that the recognition reflects the collective efforts of the men and women of the BOC.
“Lubos akong nagpapasalamat sa United Christian and Muslim Alliance at kay Apostle Mike Salvador para sa pagkilalang ito. Ang karangalang ito ay hindi lamang para sa akin, kundi para sa buong Bureau of Customs. Patuloy nating isusulong ang tapat, makabuluhan, at makataong serbisyo, na ginagabayan ng mabubuting halimbawa ng ating Panginoon,” Commissioner Nepomuceno said.
Through the continued implementation of its good governance initiatives, the BOC remains committed to upholding Integrity, Accountability, and Modernization (IAM) movement in its operations. These efforts support the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. for a transparent, efficient, and accountable government service while contributing to economic growth and protecting the country’s borders.
