SUBIC BAY FREEPORT — BOOM! The Bureau of Customs – Port of Subic has exploded with a historic achievement after raking in a staggering ₱5,927,390,699.97 in collections for April 2026 — the highest April revenue performance since 2019!
At the center of this massive victory is the fearless, aggressive, and results-driven leadership of District Collector Director Arnaldo “Arnie” Saulong, the man now being hailed as the “Record Breaker of Subic Customs.”
Under Saulong’s hard-hitting command, the Port of Subic did not just hit its assigned target — it DESTROYED expectations and proved that disciplined enforcement, tight monitoring, and relentless anti-smuggling operations can translate into gigantic government revenues.
INSIDERS inside the Bureau say the April accomplishment sent shockwaves across Customs circles as Subic emerged as one of the strongest performing ports in the country today.
For years, many believed such numbers were impossible amid global trade uncertainties and smuggling threats. But Saulong proved critics wrong.
NO EXCUSES. NO SLOWDOWN. JUST RESULTS.
Sources revealed that the aggressive reforms, intensified cargo monitoring, and uncompromising stance against illegal activities under Saulong’s leadership significantly boosted lawful collections while tightening the noose on smugglers and corrupt players.
Employees and stakeholders at the port are now witnessing what many describe as a “new era” in Subic Customs — one driven by performance, accountability, and fearless leadership.
More importantly, the Port of Subic successfully REACHED its official collection target for April 2026, further cementing Saulong’s reputation as a no-nonsense collector who delivers numbers and action at the same time.
While smugglers continue searching for weak spots, the message from Saulong’s camp is now loud and clear:
“SUBIC IS CLOSED TO CORRUPTION, OPEN FOR LEGITIMATE TRADE.”
With this historic ₱5.9-billion performance now etched in the books, pressure is mounting on other ports to keep up with the blazing momentum unleashed by Director Arnaldo Saulong.
One thing is certain — under Saulong, the Port of Subic is no longer playing defense.
IT IS DOMINATING.
