A massive career breakthrough is sweeping through the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) as Commissioner Atty. Charlito Martin R. Mendoza leads the promotion of 691 officials and employees nationwide, sending a powerful message that hard work, competence and dedication must be rewarded in government service!

In a major personnel development, Mendoza personally led the mass oath-taking ceremony of 691 newly promoted BIR personnel on November 3, 2026, at the BIR National Office, with employees from various Revenue Regions participating virtually.

This is more than just a promotion ceremony. It is a bold move to strengthen the Bureau from within while creating fresh opportunities for qualified applicants seeking to become part of the country’s premier tax collection agency.

A significant number of the promotions involved employees moving up from entry-level positions. As these personnel assume higher responsibilities, vacancies are created that may be filled through future recruitment.

MENDOZA: RIGHT PEOPLE IN THE RIGHT POSITIONS!

Commissioner Mendoza made it clear that the Bureau must put capable, qualified and carefully selected personnel in positions where they can deliver results and provide better public service.

“We are placing capable, qualified, and carefully selected people in positions where they can take on greater responsibilities, deliver better service, and help build a stronger BIR,” Mendoza declared.

But the BIR chief also delivered a stern reminder: promotion is not a license to relax. It is a heavier responsibility and a greater obligation to the Filipino people.

“Mas malaki ang hamon. Mas mabigat ang responsibilidad. At mas malaki rin ang inaasahan sa inyo. Kaya ang hiling ko sa inyo: continue to do the right thing,” he stressed.

The message was unmistakable: higher positions must translate into higher standards of integrity, accountability and performance.

DARES IN ACTION!

The sweeping promotion initiative directly supports the Employee Empowerment and Welfare Promotion pillar of the BIR’s DARES agenda.

For Mendoza, empowering employees is not merely about giving them new titles or higher positions. It is about building a stronger workforce capable of confronting the challenges of revenue collection, taxpayer services and institutional reform.

“Kayo po, sa bago ninyong mga tungkulin, ang magtataguyod ng BIR DARES,” the Commissioner reminded the newly promoted personnel.

The challenge now rests on the shoulders of the 691 promotees: prove that the trust placed in them is deserved.

With Mendoza steering the Bureau’s personnel development agenda, the message is loud and clear: NO ROOM FOR COMPLACENCY, NO SHORTCUTS IN PUBLIC SERVICE, AND NO COMPROMISE ON INTEGRITY!

The promotion of 691 employees marks a significant step toward a more empowered, motivated and accountable BIR workforce.

And with new vacancies potentially opening the door for future recruitment, the next generation of BIR employees may soon get their chance to serve.

Under Commissioner Mendoza, career advancement is moving forward—and the bigger battle is turning those promotions into better government service!
