MANILA — The Manila International Container Port (MICP) set a new benchmark in revenue generation after posting a record-breaking ₱2,000,921,555 in collections in a single day on April 10, 2026, the highest one-day haul ever recorded in the port’s history.
The milestone underscores the strong revenue performance of the Bureau of Customs’ busiest port under the leadership of District Collector Atty. Felipe Geoffrey K. De Vera IV, whose administration has emphasized efficiency, accountability, and intensified trade facilitation measures.
The amount surpassed the previous daily record and exceeded the port’s average daily collection target by 80.85 percent, reflecting the continued growth in trade activity and improved operational systems at the MICP.

During the flag-raising ceremony on April 20, De Vera commended MICP personnel for their commitment and teamwork, saying the achievement was the result of collective effort and dedication to public service.
“This accomplishment is not only about numbers. It is a testament to the hard work of every employee who contributes to the smooth and lawful movement of goods through the port,” De Vera said.
Industry observers noted that the MICP’s performance signals the success of reforms aimed at streamlining cargo processing, strengthening enforcement, and boosting revenue collection.
As the country’s premier container port, MICP plays a vital role in facilitating imports and exports while generating billions in government revenues that fund infrastructure, healthcare, education, and other national development programs.
The latest record also supports the fiscal agenda of the Marcos administration, as well as the modernization and revenue enhancement programs being pursued by the Department of Finance and the Bureau of Customs.

With the historic feat, MICP has reaffirmed its position as the country’s leading customs collection district, while De Vera continues to gain recognition for steering the port to new heights of performance.
