President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. reshuffles leadership across several key finance and investment agencies, with new appointments announced for the Bureau of Customs (BOC), Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) and Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA). The changes include Charlito Martin R. Mendoza moving to the BOC, while Rolando T. Ligon Jr. takes over Mendoza’s former BIR post. Ariel Nepomuceno is set to head the BCDA, and Joshua “Jake” Bingcang is named director-general at PEZA.

Multiple outlets report the appointments take effect after oaths administered before Marcos. Inquirer.net highlights the sequence of transitions and related announcements, including that Mendoza took his oath as BOC chief. GMA News similarly notes that the new heads of the BOC, BIR and BCDA took their oaths before Marcos.

Some coverage also addresses reaction from the business community. Inquirer.net reports Malacañang reassures business groups that the cabinet shakeup of revenue-generating and investment agencies will not disrupt the economy.
