Page URL: HTML link: Citations:Former Bureau of Customs (BOC) and Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) chief Guillermo Parayno Jr. died last Aug. 2.
Born on April 26, 1948, he was 75 and succumbed to a heart attack, according to earlier reports.
Officials and employees of the BOC, which Parayno headed during the term of the late former president Fidel Ramos from 1992 to 1998, remembered him as the one who 'introduced anti-corruption reforms.'
He was known as the father of the bureau's computerization program.
The Philippine Veterans Bank also remembered Parayno, who joined its board in 2013 and worked as vice chairman until his death.
'A son of a World War 2 veteran and himself a graduate of the Philippine Military Academy, Parayno's heart was close to veterans and military causes and championed their advocacies,' it wrote.
Business solutions firm e-Konek Pilipinas Inc.
also mourned the death of its chairman.
'His sudden departure has left an immense void in our organization and in the lives of those who had the privilege of knowing him,' the firm wrote in remembering Parayno.
Describing him as an 'exceptional leader and visionary,' e-Konek said Parayno's 'unwavering dedication, unparalleled wisdom, and profound insights were instrumental in guiding us through numerous challenges, and his commitment to excellence was an inspiration to us all.'
Aside from being BOC commissioner, Parayno also led the BIR as commissioner from 2002 to 2005 when he and other officials under former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, collectively called the Hyatt 10, resigned following the revelation of the 'Hello Garci' election scandal.
It was under Parayno's term that the BIR enabled more electronic services, as well as other measures against tax evaders, the BIR said on its website.
Parayno's wake at La Funeraria Paz's Narra Room at the Manila Memorial Park in Paranaque will be until today.
The effort received the full backing of President Ramos, who gave full support and regularly monitored its implementation. He also worked for several development projects with the United Nations Development Program and the Asian Development Bank, and taught at his alma maters, the Philippine Military Academy (PMA), and University of the Philippines (UP).
He also previously served as co-chairman and president of the Lina Group of Companies and a member of the Board of Directors of Toyota Motor Corporation and Metro Retail Stores Group, Inc.
His accomplishments in public service, as well as his expertise in information technology infrastructure, logistics, and supply chain, have gained him recognition from different institutions, including the PMA Alumni Association, the Asian Institute of Management, the Chamber of Customs Brokers of the Philippines and the Professional Regulatory Commission of the Philippines.
He is a graduate of the PMA class of 1970 where he was one among the top students and the first recipient of the Jacobo Zobel Award.
He also holds a Master’s degrees in Psychology from UP and Business Management from the Asian Institute of Management.
