The announcement of Rubio’s appointment also lacked details, with the Presidential Communications Office only indicating his new position at the customs bureau in a statement titled “New Appointee.”

Before heading the bureau, Rubio was the director of the Port Operations Service of the BOC's Assessment and Operations Coordinating Group.

The sudden leadership change at the bureau is similar to what happened at the Bureau of Internal Revenue, where former tax chief Lilia Catris Guillermo was replaced suddenly and also without explanation by deputy commissioner Romeo Lumagui Jr. — Xave Gregorio
