PRESS RELEASE: PHLPost:
Post Offices to remain open, announces new schedule
May 25, 2020 Posted By: Corp. Comm
The Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost)
announces that it will remain open to deliver and accept mails and
packages nationwide.
PHLPost has assured that postal services will
remain operational inspite of the Modified Enhance Community Quarantine
(MECQ) in NCR and the General Community Quarantine (GCQ) which are being
implemented in select provinces in the country.
PHLPost has been allowed to continue with its
services at a capacity necessary to maintain the prompt delivery of
services to its clients through its #PusongPHLPost.
Post Offices will be open three (3) times a week
(Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) from 10:00 in the morning up to 3:00
in the afternoon for cities and provinces under MECQ while maintaining
skeletal operations.
Acceptance of mails and parcels intended to other
countries are suspended temporarily due to local and international
flights cancellation. However, domestic mail dispatches shall continue
to be transported by land and sea routes until further notice.
Meanwhile, those provinces under GCQ will operate
in full capacity from Monday to Friday from 8:00 in the morning until
5:00 in the afternoon.
Processing and acceptance of Regular and Rush
Postal ID will start on June 01 to comply with the government’s strict
guidelines in the implementation of health and safety protocols.
PHLPost shall prioritize the delivery of express
mails, medicines, items containing goods/perishable items, items from
SSS, GSIS, and other public and private institutions containing
pensions, checks/loans and leftover mails (vital communications/checks)
during the community lockdown.
The postal agency apologizes for the delay and
hopes for the public’s understanding and support in finding ways and
means to better serve its customers.
Area post offices are also coordinating with
barangay officials for mail delivery, cargo/shipping lines for transport
of mails in accordance with local community quarantine protocols as well
as the use of its facebook page for coordination and information to its
clients via
