The Bureau of Customs (BOC) has already reached its August revenue collection target of P58.849 billion even before month’s end, the latest in a series of outstanding achievements of the agency since the start of the year.

“Congratulations to the whole team! The BOC just exceeded the August collection target with our revenue today (Aug 23) of P60.524 billion. We are up by 2.8% or by P1.675 billion compared to the monthly target. My heartfelt congratulations to everyone!,” said Customs Commissioner Yogi Filemon Ruiz.

The BOC has been surpassing its monthly collection targets since January, and is poised to sustain its consistently good performance record through the implementation of its enhanced reform programs.
