The Bureau of Customs\u2019 strict policy has implemented overall the Anti-Conflict of Interest Policy, strict \u201cNo Take\u201d Policy and tighter disclosure rules for customs personnel in its bid to protect legitimate businesses and ensure fair trade.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n According to BOC Commissioner Ariel Nepomuceno, the initiatives are reinforced by the agency\u2019s digitalization program aimed at streamlining the processes, reducing the red tape, and curbing opportunities.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Nepomuceno said these ongoing reforms anchored on integrity, accountability and modernization, paid off handsomely following the reported seizures of smuggled goods valued at P2.39 billion.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Such accomplishments, according to Nepomuceno, reflect the agency\u2019s firm resolve to uphold transparency and strengthen public trust in Customs operations, and at the same time, enable the agency to win the support of no less than the FFCCCII.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Nepomuceno expressed appreciation to the business community for their valuable support.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cWe value the trust and confidence extended to us by the business community. The BOC\u2019s reform agenda is not only about institutional integrity but also about creating an environment where legitimate trade can thrive,\u201d Nepomuceno said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cBy working hand in hand with our partners in the private sector, we can ensure that the Philippines becomes a more competitive, transparent, and predictable destination for investment,\u201d the BOC chief concluded.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Recognizing these efforts, FFCCCII President Victor Lim said the business community welcomes the BOC\u2019s reforms and the Commissioner\u2019s strong stance on integrity and good governance.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cIt is good that there are leaders such as Commissioner Nepomuceno, who uphold integrity in good governance,\u201d Lim said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cIn light of the recent issues affecting the Philippine government, it is good that there are leaders such as Commissioner Nepomuceno, who uphold integrity in good governance and create a very competitive and business-friendly environment for businesspeople such as the FFCCCII,\u201d he said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cWe are very supportive of such leadership,\u201d he added.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The FFCCCII said the business sector is ready to work closely with the BOC in sustaining reforms, noting that such partnership will not only strengthen the campaign against smuggling but also contribute to national economic growth.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" THE Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry Inc.
