CLARK CUSTOMS CHIEF REYES REWARDS TOP PERFORMERS!

CLARK, PAMPANGA — Excellence is not merely demanded at the Bureau of Customs—it must be recognized, rewarded, and strengthened!

District Collector Jairus S. Reyes took center stage in recognizing the dedication and outstanding contributions of deserving personnel of the Bureau of Customs–Port of Clark, personally awarding Certificates of Commendation during the Monday Flag-Raising Ceremony on November 9, 2026.

The recognition was more than a ceremonial exercise. It sent a strong message that hard work, integrity, discipline, and commitment to public service will never go unnoticed under Reyes’ leadership.

At a time when government agencies are under intense public scrutiny, Reyes is putting the spotlight on one crucial ingredient of institutional success: the people behind the performance.

His initiative reinforces the importance of a motivated workforce, recognizing that efficient customs operations cannot be achieved through policies and directives alone. They require dedicated men and women who deliver results on the ground.

The move is also aligned with the priority programs of Customs Commissioner Atty. Ariel F. Nepomuceno, particularly in strengthening employee morale and welfare while advancing good governance, accountability, and operational excellence.

But Reyes’ message goes beyond giving out certificates. It is about building a culture where commitment is valued, performance is appreciated, and teamwork becomes the driving force behind the Port’s accomplishments.

The Port of Clark plays a vital role in carrying out the Bureau’s threefold mandates: revenue collection, trade facilitation, and border protection. Meeting these responsibilities requires not only strong leadership but also personnel who understand the weight of their responsibilities to the Filipino people.

REYES IS MAKING HIS POINT: A STRONG CUSTOMS PORT STARTS WITH A STRONG AND MOTIVATED WORKFORCE!

As the BOC continues its modernization and reform agenda under Commissioner Nepomuceno, the recognition of outstanding employees at Clark sends a powerful signal that leadership must also invest in the people who make institutional progress possible.

In the final analysis, equipment, policies, and modernization programs are important—but it is the dedication of public servants that turns these programs into concrete results.

For District Collector Jairus S. Reyes, recognizing excellence is not simply about honoring yesterday’s achievements. It is about challenging every customs personnel to perform better tomorrow.

AT THE PORT OF CLARK, EXCELLENCE DESERVES RECOGNITION—and MEDIOCRITY SHOULD NEVER BE THE STANDARD!
