A RECORD-BREAKING PERFORMANCE! A REVENUE MILESTONE! AND A POWERFUL STATEMENT THAT THE PORT OF CEBU IS READY TO PLAY IN THE BIG LEAGUE!

The Bureau of Customs (BOC)–Port of Cebu has shattered another revenue milestone after collecting a staggering ₱5.007 BILLION in October 2026, marking the highest monthly collection in the port’s history and the FIRST TIME it has breached the monumental ₱5-billion threshold!

This is not just another collection report. This is a resounding declaration of progress, performance, and institutional determination!

And standing at the forefront of this remarkable achievement is District Collector ATTY. ZSAE CARRIE C. DE GUZMAN, whose leadership now takes center stage in one of the Port of Cebu’s most significant revenue accomplishments.

The numbers speak louder than any political slogan or bureaucratic pronouncement.

According to the official performance figures, the Port of Cebu posted an actual collection of ₱5,007,907,526.16 for October 2026.

That is more than five billion pesos in government revenue in a single month!

It is the port’s highest monthly collection to date and the first time in its history to cross the ₱5-billion mark.

THAT IS A MILESTONE WORTH CELEBRATING!

But behind these impressive figures is a bigger story: the importance of leadership, teamwork, operational discipline, and the relentless commitment of customs personnel to deliver results for the Filipino people.

Under the stewardship of De Guzman, the Port of Cebu has demonstrated that revenue collection is not merely about meeting monthly targets. It is about strengthening government resources, protecting legitimate trade, enforcing customs laws, and ensuring that every peso legally due to the government is properly accounted for.

The ₱5-billion breakthrough sends a powerful message that the Port of Cebu is capable of achieving bigger things.

For De Guzman, this accomplishment is a significant leadership milestone. It puts a spotlight on the responsibility of steering one of the country’s important customs collection districts toward greater efficiency, stronger revenue performance, and sustained institutional progress.

BUT THE BIGGER CHALLENGE BEGINS NOW!

A record is meant to be broken, but sustaining excellence requires even greater determination. The challenge is to transform this historic October performance into a continuing culture of excellence.

The public expects more than impressive numbers. It expects transparent transactions, honest public service, uncompromising enforcement against smuggling, efficient cargo clearance, and a customs administration that protects both government revenue and legitimate businesses.

And that is where the next chapter of the Port of Cebu’s success must be written.

Commissioner Ariel F. Nepomuceno’s reform agenda on integrity, accountability, and modernization also provides an important framework for ports to strengthen public confidence and improve institutional performance.

The message from Cebu is unmistakable: PROGRESS IS POSSIBLE WHEN LEADERSHIP IS MATCHED BY ACTION AND RESULTS!

Five billion pesos in one month is no ordinary achievement. It is a historic benchmark that raises the bar for the entire customs community.

Kudos to Atty. Zsae Carrie De Guzman and the men and women of the Port of Cebu!

The ₱5-billion milestone is not the finish line. It is a launching pad for even greater accomplishments.

CEBU HAS BROKEN THE BARRIER. NOW, THE CHALLENGE IS TO REACH EVEN GREATER HEIGHTS!

And if this historic performance is any indication, the Port of Cebu is sending a clear signal: IT IS READY FOR THE NEXT LEVEL!
