The Bureau of Customs Cagayan de Oro (BOC-CDO) is constructing a 2-storey building for its subport Mindanao Container Terminal (MCT) in Tagaloan, Misamis Oriental.

BOC-CDO on September 30, 2021 held a cornerstone-laying ceremony for the structure that will be built on a 5,000-square meter lot inside PHIVIDEC industrial estate in Barangay Sugbongcogon, Tagoloan. The lot was donated by PHIVIDEC Industrial Authority, which oversees the 3,000-hectare PHIVIDEC industrial estate where MCT is located.

Target completion is April 2022.

Since its inception in 2006, BOC-MCT has been conducting operations in a donated one-storey building in the PHIVIDEC compound.

“It is high time for the BOC-MCT to have its own office after many years to cater growing stakeholders that are transacting with the bureau and to further enhance the ease-of-doing-business campaign of the government by giving quality service to stakeholders,” BOC-CDO district collector Elvira Cruz said in a statement.

Revenues from the MCT subport represent 70-80% of the total collection of BOC-CDO.

MCT port collector John Simon said the new building will have a Customer Care Center and an assessment area, and will house various offices such as port operations, Customs Intelligence and Investigation Service, Enforcement and Security Service, and collector’s office.
