MANILA – Incoming Bureau of Customs (BOC) Commissioner Charlito Martin Mendoza has vowed to pursue the administration's priorities of strengthening border protection, sustaining revenue collection, and facilitating legitimate trade.

In a statement on Thursday evening, Mendoza, former commissioner of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), said he looks forward to working with BOC personnel to continue implementing the policies of the Marcos administration.

“I look forward to working with the men and women of the BOC to carry out the priorities of President Marcos Jr. and Finance Secretary Frederick Go — strengthening border protection, sustaining revenue collection, and facilitating legitimate trade. We have important work ahead of us, and I am ready to get started,” Mendoza said.

He thanked President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. for appointing him to lead the agency.

Mendoza thanked his colleagues at the BIR, describing his year at the agency as the most challenging and meaningful of his public service career.

He also cited the agency's progress in advancing its long-term digital transformation.

“It has been a great honor to serve our country alongside our Revenuers. I am proud of what we have accomplished together, especially the significant progress we have made in advancing the BIR's long-term digital transformation,” Mendoza said.

He urged BIR personnel to support his successor, incoming Commissioner Rolando Ligon Jr., and ensure the completion of ongoing tax modernization projects.

“I know you will continue what we have started, and I urge you to fully support the leadership of incoming Commissioner Rolando T. Ligon Jr. as you see these tax modernization projects through to completion for our taxpayers, guided by our commitment to ‘Mahusay na Serbisyo, Katumbas ng Buwis Mo,’” he said.
