SUBIC BAY FREEPORT — Atty. Noah Dimaporo formally assumed office as the new district collector of the Bureau of Customs (BOC) Port of Subic during a turnover ceremony on Nov. 9, succeeding Atty. Geniefelle P. Lagmay.

Lagmay turned over the leadership of the port after overseeing its operations, including efforts to improve customs services, strengthen border protection, facilitate trade and sustain revenue collection.

Dimaporo is expected to continue the port’s existing programs while pursuing the bureau’s mandate of facilitating legitimate trade, protecting the country’s borders and collecting government revenues.

The leadership transition is part of the BOC’s continuing reform efforts under Commissioner Ariel F. Nepomuceno’s Integrity, Accountability and Modernization (IAM) Movement, which promotes professionalism, transparency and accountability among customs personnel.

The Port of Subic also underscored the importance of coordination among its personnel, stakeholders and partner government agencies in ensuring efficient customs operations and strengthening border security. (BOC-Port of Subic Press Release)
