The Market Monitor Minding the Nation's Business
The Bureau of Customs (BOC) continues to prove its resilience and efficiency, reporting a record-breaking collection of ₱85.459 billion in July 2025—exceeding its monthly target by ₱1.094 billion or 1.3%.
Based on a preliminary report, this marks the BOC’s highest monthly collection for the year, reflecting a 6.4% increase from ₱80.355 billion in July 2024 and a notable rise from P77.035 billion in June 2025.
From January to July 2025, the BOC has already collected ₱544.230 billion, further solidifying its role as a key contributor to President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s economic and fiscal agenda.
The BOC attributed the strong July performance to the collective efforts of all 17 collection districts, as well as revenue boosts from unpaid post-entry modifications, ₱3.103 billion in government importations under the Tax Expenditure Fund (TEF), and ₱136.94 million collected by the Post-Clearance Audit Group (PCAG).
Remarkably, the agency achieved this milestone despite experiencing a 4.5-day suspension of operations due to severe weather that disrupted port activities and customs processing nationwide.
BOC Commissioner Ariel Nepomuceno credited the success to governance reforms focused on transparency, accountability, and operational efficiency.
“This achievement shows the power of good governance. With integrity and focus, we will continue to deliver results that benefit the Filipino people and support the President’s vision for nation-building,” Nepomuceno said.
