Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Commissioner Charlito Mendoza welcomed his appointment as Bureau of Customs (BOC) Commissioner in place of Ariel Nepomuceno.
Mendoza is to be succeeded at the BIR by incoming Commissioner Rolando T. Ligon Jr., according to a statement released by the bureau on Thursday.
Mendoza thanked President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. for his “trust and confidence” and his colleagues at the BIR for having welcomed him and their dedication to the bureau’s work.
“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.
“I know you will continue what we have started, and I urge you to fully support the leadership of the incoming Commissioner Rolando T. Ligon, Jr.,” he added.
Mendoza also expressed gratitude for Department of Finance (DOF) Secretary Frederick Go’s guidance and “all-out” support for BIR programs initiated under his leadership.
Earlier, the BOC also released a statement regarding Nepomuceno’s departure from the Customs Bureau, and according to several news reports, he will be reassigned as the Bases Conversion and Development Authority’s (BCDA) president and chief executive officer.
