No excuses. No slowdown. Just results that speak for themselves.
Under the firm and uncompromising leadership of Commissioner ARIEL F. NEPOMUCENO, the Bureau of Customs continues to drive a culture of performance—and at the Port of NAIA, that standard is not just met, it is delivered under pressure.
At the forefront is District Collector ATTY. YASMIN “YAS” MAPA, whose leadership has steered NAIA Customs into a disciplined and results-driven district. Through tight supervision and operational focus, every unit is pushed to perform at the highest level.
On the ground, Special Deputy Collector DR. SIEGFRED L. MANAOIS, alongside the Paircargo Assessment Composite Unit, delivered a standout performance—generating ₱2.7 billion in collections for March 2026 alone. A commanding contribution that significantly boosted the district’s overall revenue drive.
But the bigger picture tells an even stronger story.
Despite major operational challenges—including the slowdown during the Chinese New Year, inventory constraints, reduced flight volumes due to tensions in the Middle East, and other logistical pressures—the entire Port of NAIA successfully achieved its First Quarter 2026 collection target.
This was not handed on a silver platter. It was earned through consistent, high-level assessment performance and disciplined execution across all units.
The Paircargo Assessment Unit’s strong showing in January, February, and March helped anchor this success—but it was the collective effort of the entire port that sealed the victory.
This Certificate of Commendation, therefore, represents more than individual excellence—it reflects a unified command that delivers even in the face of adversity.
With NEPOMUCENO setting the national direction, MAPA enforcing operational discipline at NAIA, and MANAOIS driving results on the ground, the Bureau of Customs demonstrates a clear reality:
TARGETS ARE NOT JUST MET—THEY ARE SECURED, EVEN UNDER PRESSURE.
