OUR HISTORY

The PHILIPPINE PORTS AUTHORITY is a Government Owned and Controlled Corporation (GOCC) attached to the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC), now Department of Transportation (DOTr), and especially charged with the financing, management and operations of public ports throughout the archipelago.

Its goal, as spelled out in its charter, Presidential Decree 857, as amended, is to implement an integrated port system that is aimed at accelerating maritime trade and commerce and carry forward the government objective of transforming the Philippines into a newly-industrialized country.

On October 1, 1975, The Philippine Ports Authority established its management unit in Cagayan de Oro and took over the port operations, maintenance and related functions from the Bureau of Customs and from the Bureau of Public Works. In April 1976, PPA added to its function the collection of income and revenues from the use of PPA facilities and services.
