Port of NAIA Collection District III of the Bureau of Customs (BOC) recorded a total of ₱2.286 billion in revenue collections for February 2026, driven by intensified assessment operations and strengthened enforcement oversight under District Collector Atty. Yas Mapa and Special Deputy Collector Dr. Siegfried “Yeye” Manaois.

The strong performance was attributed in large part to the operational efficiency of the Paircargo Assessment Composite Unit, which plays a critical role in cargo valuation, documentation review, and compliance monitoring within the district.

Leadership at the Helm

District Collector Atty. Yas Mapa credited the result to tighter coordination, stricter assessment procedures, and consistent monitoring of revenue targets.

“Our focus remains clear — accurate assessment, lawful collection, and institutional discipline,” Mapa said in a statement. “Every peso due to the government must be properly accounted for.”

Under Mapa’s supervision, Collection District III has strengthened internal systems to ensure transparency in valuation processes and prevent revenue leakages.

Frontline Oversight

Meanwhile, Special Deputy Collector Dr. Siegfried Manaois, who leads the Paircargo Assessment Composite Unit, emphasized the importance of precision and accountability in daily operations.

“Our mandate is simple: enforce correct valuation and ensure compliance without delay,” Manaois said. “Assessment is not routine paperwork — it is the frontline of revenue protection.”

Officials noted that the unit’s intensified scrutiny of shipments, validation of declared values, and firm implementation of customs rules significantly contributed to the February revenue outcome.

Institutional Backing

The district’s performance aligns with the broader directive of Customs Commissioner Ariel F. Nepomuceno, who has consistently called for discipline, measurable output, and zero tolerance for inefficiency across all collection districts.

Revenue gains from District III form part of the bureau’s continuing effort to strengthen fiscal contributions to the national government.

Recognition for Performance

In recognition of their contribution, Dr. Manaois and the Men and Women of the Paircargo Assessment Composite Unit were cited for their exceptional dedication and commendable performance during the month.

With sustained oversight from Collector Mapa and operational leadership from Special Deputy Collector Manaois, Collection District III signaled its readiness to maintain momentum in the months ahead.

For the Bureau of Customs, February’s ₱2.286 billion collection is more than a number — it is a benchmark for disciplined execution and results-driven public service.
