The Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) Port Management Office (PMO) of Agusan completed a two-day training on March 10–11, 2026 in preparation for the rollout of the Mobile Point-of-Sale (MPOS) System, equipping Finance Division personnel with the necessary knowledge and operational procedures for its implementation. The training was facilitated by BT Industries, Inc., the system service provider, with representatives from the PPA Head Office Treasury Department (TD) and the Information and Communications Technology Department (ICTD) present to discuss system processes and the integration of the MPOS with the Internet-Based Port Operations and Receipting System (iPorts) and the Oracle System.
The activity forms part of the nationwide implementation of the MPOS System and complies with the requirements of the Computerized Accounting System Acknowledgment Certificate (CAS-AC).
The MPOS System is a digital payment processing and analytics platform that utilizes mobile point-of-sale devices to replace the manual issuance of cash tickets at the Baseport and terminal ports. The system streamlines the payment and receipting of port charges, particularly for Gate Pass and Temporary Vehicle Pass, while reducing transaction time and manual processing. It also aims to improve the accuracy, transparency, and accountability of collections and enhance service delivery to port users and stakeholders.
The MPOS System went live at PMO Agusan on March 12, 2026 at exactly 12:00 midnight. The rollout marks another step in PPA’s continuing efforts to provide faster, more reliable, and more efficient port services.
