MANILA — The Bureau of Customs–Ninoy Aquino International Airport (BOC-NAIA) posted a strong revenue performance in January 2026, collecting ₱3.74 billion, exceeding its ₱3.6-billion target by 4 percent, the agency reported.

The January collection is also 4.91 percent higher than the port’s actual revenue intake for the same period in 2025, reflecting improved compliance monitoring and operational efficiency at one of the country’s busiest customs districts.

Customs Commissioner Ariel Nepomuceno said the performance aligns with the Bureau’s nationwide push to strengthen revenue collection while ensuring strict enforcement of customs laws.

District Collector Atty. Maria Yasmin O. Mapa attributed the achievement to sustained reforms in assessment procedures, closer monitoring of shipments, and coordinated efforts among frontline units at NAIA.

A significant portion of the January revenue was generated by the Paircargo Assessment Composite Division, headed by Special Deputy Collector Dr. Siegfried L. Manaois, which contributed ₱2.257 billion to the total collection.

In recognition of its performance, the Paircargo Assessment Composite Division was awarded a Certificate of Commendation for its exceptional dedication and contribution in helping the port meet and exceed its revenue targets.

BOC-NAIA officials said the strong start to 2026 underscores the port’s role in supporting the Bureau of Customs’ overall collection goals and contributing to national development.
