Entrusted with one of the most sensitive and strategic roles in the Bureau of Customs’ Intelligence Group, Deputy Commissioner General Juvymax Uy stands as a shining example of professionalism, integrity, and leadership.

His appointment is a reflection of both a towering career and a spotless reputation—qualities that undeniably make him the right man for the job. Wouldn’t you agree, CIIS Director Enciso? General Uy has rightfully earned his place among the pillars of leadership in the agency.

His journey to the top was not instantaneous but marked by perseverance and a steadfast commitment to public service. His success, unmarred by any trace of corruption, speaks volumes. This very integrity and moral compass won no less trust than the President himself. Isn’t that so, XIP Head Director Princepe? But who is Deputy Commissioner General Juvymax Uy? Long before his esteemed appointment, he had already made a name for himself.

Rising from the ranks, he gained recognition for his outstanding expertise in intelligence operations and his relentless campaign against smugglers. Ask Intelligence Officer IV Alvin Enciso, and he’ll confirm this firsthand.

Need proof? Let’s look at one key moment. During the comprehensive command conference held on December 11, 2024, the Customs Intelligence Group reported its extraordinary achievements in securing the country’s borders. Customs Intelligence and Investigation Service (CIIS) Director Y. Enciso presented data that showed the IG-CIIS had significantly increased its performance since 2022, almost doubling the number of seizures each year.

Thanks to the exceptional leadership of Deputy Commissioner Uy and Commissioner Bienvenido Rubio, the Bureau recorded historic figures: 729 seizures worth Php 24 billion in earlier years, and a dramatic rise to 1,537 seizures valued at Php 81 billion in 2024. These numbers are a testament to the duo’s effective and visionary governance. Director Enciso himself would affirm this.

Deputy Commissioner Uy is more than just a leader—he is Commissioner Rubio’s key partner in the fight against smuggling and in improving revenue collection for the Bureau of Customs. Isn’t that right, Joel Pinawin? Colleagues and subordinates alike praise General Uy not only for his tireless work ethic but also for his hands-on management style, which continues to yield impressive results. His leadership is driven by authenticity and guided by a strong moral foundation. In interviews with BOC personnel and CIIS officers, one sentiment echoes clearly: General Uy’s sincerity, integrity, and dignity are central to his success.

He is known as a man of action with an untarnished reputation—a rare quality that makes him both admirable and worthy of emulation. Isn’t that so, Kuya Badong of XIP? Mabuhay ka, Deputy Commissioner General Juvymax Uy. May your service continue to inspire, and may God bless your journey always.
