In a landmark initiative, the Port of Subic, led by District Collector Atty. Marlon Fritz B. Broto, conducted its first-ever official Executive Committee (ExeCom) meeting. This marks a significant departure from the usual staff meetings, as the Port adopts a more structured and strategic approach inspired by the Bureau of Customs (BOC) Executive Committee meetings held at the main office.
The groundbreaking meeting aimed to review the Port’s recent accomplishments and developments, aligning its operations with the Bureau’s overall goals of seamless service delivery and operational excellence.
“This is a milestone for the Port of Subic,” said Collector Broto. “By transitioning from traditional staff meetings to a formal Executive Committee format, we are taking a significant step toward fostering a culture of accountability collaboration, and strategic planning. This initiative will help us address challenges more effectively and ensure we are aligned with the directives from the BOC head office .”
Key discussions during the meeting focused on evaluating recent operational achievements, sharing updates on ongoing developmental projects, and cascading crucial instructions from the head office. This structured platform will serve as an essential tool in streamlining communication and decision-making across all port operations.
The move to establish an Executive Committee meeting reflects District Collector Broto’s commitment to enhancing the Port’s operational standards and aligning its priorities with the Bureau’s mission of trade facilitation, revenue generation, and border security.
“This is not just because of a new meeting format,” District Collector Broto added. “It’s about transforming how we work and setting the tone for a forward-thinking, results-driven organization. Our stakeholders deserve nothing less than our best efforts as we strive to close the year on a high note .”
The first Executive Committee meeting is expected to set a precedent for future collaborations and strategic initiatives within the Port of Subic, ensuring it remains a vital player in the country’s trade and economic development.
