This increase is correlated with the agency\u2019s more aggressive campaign versus tax evasion.<\/p>\n<p>The Bureau of Customs is also expected to produce higher revenues, targeted at P456.5 billion, equivalent to 3.2 percent of GDP.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe organizational reforms that have been institutionalized at BOC, the intensified anti-smuggling campaign, and the trade facilitation systems that have been installed are clearly breathing new life and energy into the agency,\u201d the DBM said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA &#8211; P2.34 trillion.
