MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— Customs Commissioner Rey Leonardo Guerrero on Tuesday named new district collectors in three ports in the country.<\/p>\n

BOC spokesperson, Erastus Sandino Austria, was appointed as head of the Manila International Container Port, replacing Filemon Mendoza Jr. who was transferred to the Compliance Monitoring Unit (CMU).<\/p>\n

Customs officials transferred to CMU are tasked to help craft policies for the agency.<\/p>\n

The MICP accounts for 30 percent of the total revenue target of the BOC.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Port of Subic (POS) District Collector Rhea Gregorio and Port of Manila (POM) District Collector Maritess Martin have exchanged posts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Commissioner wants MICP and POM fixed (because) they are the two major Metro Manila ports,\u201d the new MICP head said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Austria said the marching orders to them by the BOC chief were \u201cto address all issues and concerns in the port; hit the target; and of course, safeguard our borders against smuggling of contraband.\u201d<\/p>\n

As head of POS, Gregorio surpassed the collection target last year after collecting PHP22.34 billion, with a surplus of PHP1.71 billion or 5.5 percent more than its assigned target amounting to PHP20.63 billion.<\/p>\n

For this year, the BOC\u2019s collection target is at PHP662 billion. The figure is higher than its revenue target last year at PHP584 billion.<\/p>\n

In 2018, majority or 14 out of the 17 collection districts have surpassed their assigned revenue collection targets.<\/p>\n

The three ports that failed to meet their collection target were MICP, POM and the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
