The Bureau of Customs (BOC) – Port of Davao reported Thursday that it has exceeded its January 2022 revenue collection target.
In a statement, BOC-Davao said they have collected PHP3.3 billion or 2.22 percent higher than its assigned target of PHP3.23 billion last month, posting a surplus of PHP71.60 million.
The collection is also higher by 9.49 percent compared to the January 2021 collection performance of PHP2.95 billion.
Lawyer Erastus Sandino Austria, the BOC-Davao district collector, attributed the positive revenue collection to the improved valuation, intensified enforcement operations, and the government’s efforts in ensuring the unhampered movement of goods amid the pandemic situation.
“Tax collectors have always been unpopular, but there is nothing more satisfying than helping in nation-building through raising revenue. I am most proud to be part of this organization and to have the privilege to lead Collection District XII (Davao, Dadiangas, Mati, Parang),” he said.
