When results speak louder than promises, one name stands out at the Bureau of Customs–Port of Manila—District Collector Rizalino Jose C. Torralba.
Under Torralba’s decisive leadership, the Port of Manila has once again proven why it remains one of the Bureau’s strongest revenue-generating ports after smashing its June 2026 collection target, earning a Certificate of Commendation from Customs Commissioner Ariel F. Nepomuceno during the Collectors’ Conference in Intramuros.
This is more than just another award—it is a powerful affirmation that disciplined leadership, uncompromising accountability, and relentless execution produce real, measurable results.
Behind the impressive numbers is a workforce that refused to settle for mediocrity. Torralba and the dedicated men and women of the Port of Manila transformed determination into performance, teamwork into success, and commitment into billions of pesos in government revenue that will help fund vital public services and national development.
While others merely chase targets, Team POM under Collector Torralba continues to break through them, proving that excellence is not an accident but a culture built on integrity, professionalism, and operational efficiency.
Collector Torralba rightly credited the achievement to every officer and employee of the Port, emphasizing that the recognition belongs to the entire POM family whose unwavering dedication keeps the Port operating at peak performance.
The Port’s remarkable accomplishment also reflects the successful implementation of Commissioner Nepomuceno’s Integrity, Accountability, and Modernization (IAM) Program, where transparency, efficiency, and honest public service remain non-negotiable.
As the Bureau intensifies its campaign for stronger revenue generation and cleaner governance, the Port of Manila stands as a shining example of what determined leadership can accomplish.
With Collector Rizalino Jose C. Torralba at the helm and a united, highly motivated Team POM behind him, one message is unmistakably clear:
The Port of Manila is not merely meeting expectations—it is setting the gold standard for excellence, performance, and public service in the Bureau of Customs.
