CEBU CITY — Once again, the Bureau of Customs-Port of Cebu under the leadership of District Collector Romeo Allan Rosales surpassed its collection target for May 2024.
BOC Port of Cebu generated a total of P3,997,582,334.91, surpassing its target of P3,894,790,000.00 by P102,792,334.91, resulting in a commendable surplus of 2.64%.
“This remarkable accomplishment is a testament to the unwavering commitment and dedication of the entire Port of Cebu team,” Rosales said in a statement.
He attributed the continuing accomplishment to the cohesive efforts of the BOC Sub-Port of Mactan under Collector Gerardo A. Campo, LCB, and the BOC Subport of Dumaguete led by Coll. Atty. Vicente Andrew M. Espina, as well as Port of Cebu Deputy Collector for Assessment Atty. Marc Anthony C. Patriarca, and Assessment Division Chief Atty. Kenneth Kernn A. Sesante, LCB. They all played a pivotal role in consistently exceeding the monthly collection target.
In April, the BOC Port of Cebu collected over P4.07 billion against its target of P3.8 billion.
To recall, in February, the BOC Port of Cebu again exceeded its target of P3.2 billion pesos by more than P232 million pesos when it collected P3.4 billion pesos.
Last January, the BOC Port of Cebu collected over P3.49 billion, exceeding P136 million, its target for the month, which was P3.35 billion pesos.
“This accomplishment would not have been possible without the dedication and hard work of every member of our team. I commend everyone for their commitment to excellence and for consistently going above and beyond the call of duty,” Rosales said.
He also encouraged the team to build upon this success, adding, “Let us continue to work together to uphold the Bureau’s mandate of lawful revenue collection, trade facilitation, and border security.”
“The BOC Port of Cebu will continue to implement innovative strategies and strengthen its efforts to achieve and surpass its targets, significantly contributing to the country’s economic growth,” Rosales vowed.
