228 BOC men reshuffled

MANILA, Philippines - Newly appointed Bureau of Customs (BOC) Commissioner John Phillip Sevilla yesterday ordered the reshuffle of 228 officials and personnel as part of the agency’s “return to mother unit” program.

In a statement, Sevilla said he issued 29 Customs personnel orders to fully implement previous orders returning personnel to their permanent plantilla positions.

In cases where there are vacancies, the next in rank would temporarily take over, he said.
