YAS MAPA, DR. MANAOIS SCORE BIG WIN UNDER NEPOMUCENO’S CUSTOMS LEADERSHIP!

A POWERHOUSE COMBINATION OF LEADERSHIP, DISCIPLINE AND PERFORMANCE!
A whopping ₱2.924 BILLION in customs collections for October 2026! This is no ordinary achievement. It is a powerful statement of performance, commitment and institutional determination at the Bureau of Customs (BOC) – Collection District III, NAIA!

And behind this impressive accomplishment are three names deserving the spotlight: District Collector Atty. Maria Yasmin “Yas” M. Obillos-Mapa, Special Deputy Collector Dr. Siegfred L. Manaois, and BOC Commissioner Ariel F. Nepomuceno.

The numbers speak volumes. The recognition is official. And the message is crystal clear: PERFORMANCE MATTERS!

In a significant recognition of outstanding public service, Collection District III–NAIA awarded a Certificate of Commendation to Dr. Siegfred L. Manaois and the men and women of the Paircargo Assessment Composite Unit for their exceptional dedication and commendable performance, which contributed to the district’s impressive ₱2.924-billion collection for October 2026.

The certificate, dated November 9, 2026, was signed by District Collector Atty. Maria Yasmin M. Obillos-Mapa.

But beyond the impressive figures lies a bigger story — leadership that translates into results!

YAS MAPA: LEADERSHIP THAT DELIVERS!

Collector Atty. Yas Mapa deserves a major share of the spotlight for recognizing the people behind the numbers and highlighting the importance of teamwork, accountability and dedication.

Leadership is not simply about occupying a powerful position. It is about setting the direction, demanding results, strengthening teamwork and ensuring that every office contributes to the institution’s mission.

At NAIA, the recognition given to the Paircargo Assessment Composite Unit sends a strong message that hard work must never go unnoticed and that excellence deserves to be celebrated.

Mapa’s commendation is also a reminder that public service is a collective responsibility. Behind every billion-peso collection are customs personnel working to ensure that government revenue is properly assessed, collected and protected.

DR. MANAOIS: THE MAN BEHIND THE ASSESSMENT FRONTLINE!

Special Deputy Collector Dr. Siegfred L. Manaois and his Paircargo Assessment Composite Unit likewise deserve the recognition.

Their commendation is not merely a piece of paper to hang on an office wall. It is an acknowledgment of the hard work, professionalism and commitment required to deliver results in one of the country’s critical customs collection districts.

The ₱2.924-billion October collection demonstrates the importance of an efficient assessment operation and the contribution of personnel who work behind the scenes to keep government revenue flowing.

Dr. Manaois and his team have every reason to hold their heads high. Their recognition puts the spotlight on the often-unseen workforce whose performance contributes directly to the Bureau’s revenue mission.

NEPOMUCENO: THE BIGGER REFORM CHALLENGE!

And at the national level, BOC Commissioner Ariel F. Nepomuceno must keep the momentum moving!

The achievement at NAIA reinforces the importance of the Commissioner’s continuing push for professionalism, accountability, operational efficiency and good governance throughout the Bureau of Customs.

The challenge is bigger than collecting billions. It is about making sure that every peso due to the government is properly collected, every shipment is subjected to appropriate customs procedures, and every customs employee understands that public service comes with responsibility.

Nepomuceno’s leadership must continue empowering performing officials while demanding accountability from every district and collection unit.

Because the ultimate measure of customs leadership is not merely the number of commendation certificates distributed. It is the ability to produce sustainable results, protect government revenue and maintain public confidence.

THE MESSAGE IS LOUD AND CLEAR: RESULTS MUST BE REWARDED!

The ₱2.924-billion collection at NAIA deserves attention, but the real challenge is sustaining and surpassing that performance in the coming months.

Credit must go where credit is due — to Collector Yas Mapa for leadership and recognition, to Dr. Siegfred Manaois and the Paircargo Assessment Composite Unit for their commendable contribution, and to Commissioner Ariel Nepomuceno for steering the Bureau toward stronger institutional performance.

In the battle for revenue generation, there is no room for complacency. Every billion collected strengthens the government’s capacity to finance public services and national development.

NAIA has delivered a powerful October performance.

Now the challenge is to keep the numbers climbing!

YAS MAPA. DR. MANAOIS. NEPOMUCENO.

Three names, one institutional mission: a stronger, more efficient and more accountable Bureau of Customs.

WHEN PERFORMANCE SPEAKS, THE NUMBERS ROAR!
