There’s no room for complacency at the Bureau of Customs–Port of Clark as District Collector Jairus S. Reyes fires up a culture where teamwork, discipline, and excellence are not just slogans—they are a way of life.

With the official opening of Sportsfest 2026, Reyes proved that building a championship organization starts with taking care of the people who keep the country’s borders secure and legitimate trade moving.

The opening festivities transformed the Port into a battlefield of fun and determination as employees competed in classic Palarong Pinoy games, including the Chinese garter, sack race, and other traditional Filipino favorites. But the competition is only beginning, with basketball, volleyball, pickleball, and Mobile Legends tournaments set to intensify in the coming days.

For Reyes, however, the Sportsfest is about far more than trophies and bragging rights.

It is about forging stronger bonds among employees, boosting morale, and creating a workforce ready to face the daily challenges of customs operations with renewed energy and unity.

The initiative also reflects the employee-centered leadership of Customs Commissioner Ariel F. Nepomuceno, whose commitment to personnel welfare recognizes that a healthy and motivated workforce is essential to delivering world-class public service.

What makes Clark’s Sportsfest even more remarkable is that the Port never allowed the games to disrupt its core mission. Through carefully planned duty substitutions, personnel ensured that customs operations continued without interruption, proving that public service remains the top priority.

That seamless balance between employee wellness and operational efficiency highlights the leadership of Collector Reyes, who has consistently demonstrated that discipline and teamwork can coexist with innovation and employee engagement.

Under his watch, the Port of Clark continues to raise the bar—not only in customs enforcement and trade facilitation but also in building a workforce united by trust, resilience, and a winning mindset.

At Clark Customs, the message is unmistakable: champions are not only made on the playing court—they are built every day in the workplace through leadership, unity, and an unwavering commitment to serve the Filipino people.
