Macabeo was the acting district collector at NAIA, and Maronilla was the officer-in-charge of Import Assessment Service at the bureau's Assessment and Operations Coordinating Group.

Nepomuceno and Raval are returning BOC officials, according to the bureau.

Nepomuceno was also the Enforcement Group deputy commissioner of former Customs commissioners John Sevilla and Alberto Lina, while Raval was the former Enforcement and Security Service director during the time of Lina.

Ecarma, a retired major general, was a former undersecretary for Defense Operations at the Department of National Defense. — Ted Cordero/VDS, GMA News
