Prior to the creation of PPA, port administration in the Philippines was merged with the traditional
function of revenue collection of the Bureau of Customs (BOC). Port and harbor maintenance was
the responsibility of the Bureau of Public Works (BPW). In the early 1970's, there were already 591
national and municipal ports plus 200 private ports scattered all over the country necessitating
the need for long-range planning and rationalization of port development.
