New BOC chief still up in the air as Nepomuceno moves to BCDA

Customs commissioner Ariel Nepomuceno will be transferring to the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) after more than a year of heading the Bureau of Customs (BOC).

Nepomuceno himself confirmed to media late Wednesday that he will be replacing BCDA president and chief executive officer Joshua Bingcang following a BOC statement earlier in the day indicating that there is no official directive yet from Malacañang on the matter.

The appointment letter of Nepomuceno as BCDA acting president and CEO was signed by President Ferdinand Marcos on November 11 and signifies immediate effectivity.

In a statement on November 12, BOC said as Nepomuceno prepares to pass on the leadership of the bureau, “he leaves behind a legacy that extends far beyond numbers and milestones” and an agency “that is stronger, more confident, and more united in its mission, guided by a shared belief that meaningful reform is possible when people work together toward a common purpose.”
