BINIGYANG-PAPURI ni Bureau of Customs (BOC) Commissioner Ariel F. Nepomuceno si Ninoy Aquino International Airport (BOC-NAIA) District Collector Atty. Maria Yasmin Obillos-Mapa dahil sa ‘exemplary performance in revenue collection, border protection, trade facilitation and public service.’

Ang papuri ay ginawa ni Nepomuceno kaalinsabay ng 66th Founding Anniversary ng nasabing Port na may temang, “IAM 66: Built on Integrity, Driven by Accountability, Powered by Modernization”.

Ani Nepomuceno, “Natutuwa kami sa inyo, masaya kami lagi sa pamumuno ni Collector Yasmin Mapa because of her strong leadership. You are able to deliver exemplary performance not only in terms of collection, but more importantly, with good governance and the camaraderie which I always see in your tea.”

Sa ilalim ni Atty. Mapa, nakakulekta ang BOC-NAIA ng ?32.53 billion mula January to August 2026, na lumagpas sa target nang may 7.88 percent o ?2.38 billion at nakapagtala din ng 14.11 percent growth in collection, pinakamataas mula nung 2023.

Ayon pa kay Nepomuceno, ang nasabing Port ay nakapagtala din ng 1,266 apprehensions na may halagang ?1.64 billion at kasama ang partner law enforcement agencies, ay napigilan ang higit ?1.57 billion halaga ng illegal drugs na makarating sa mga komunidad.

Sa kanyang banda, binigyang kredito ni Mapa ang mga tauhan ng BOC-NAIA para sa kanilang ambag sa progreso ng Port sa public service.

“To the people behind every accomplishment I have shared with you today–the men and women of the Port of NAIA, none of these achievements would have been possible without your hard work, dedication, and willingness to go beyond what is expected of you,” pahayag ni Mapa.

“The BOC-NAIA further advanced modernization and passenger services through its ISO re-certification, Electronic Airway Bill System, dedicated OFW initiatives, and Secondary Inspection Areas,” dagdag pa niya.

Kinilala din ni Mapa ang key partners at stakeholders para sa kanilang patuloy na suporta:”This achievement is not ours alone. To our top importers, top locators, top customs brokers, and our Warehouse Operators, we extend our deepest appreciation for your invaluable contributions and for responding to our requests for support as we effectively carry out our revenue collection mandate.”

Nagtagubilin naman si Nepomuceno sa BOC-NAIA na “Ipagpatuloy niyo lang ’yan dahil kailangan ko ang tulong niyo, kailangan ng bansa ang tulong ninyo. Ang maganda ninyong performance ay malayo ang nararating para sa ating mga kababayan. Pagbutihin pa ninyo upang tuloy-tuloy ang ating kasiyahan at tagumpay bilang isang pamilya ng Bureau of Customs.”

“As BOC-NAIA enters its 67th year, it remains committed to sustaining its accomplishments and advancing integrity, accountability, and modernization in delivering responsive and reliable Customs service,” pagtitiyak naman ni Mapa. (JERRY S. TAN)
