PHLPost Postmaster General and CEO Norman Fulgencio says volume of mail is slowly going back to to normal, like the volume in 2019.
PHLPost says the volume of parcels is larger than letters because of e-commerce.
PHLPost: 60% ng ating postal location nationwide ay halos walang private corporation na nag se-serve diyan, doon tayo tinatangkilik.
PHLPost releases a schedule for mail during holidays:
PHLPost says receiving mail within Metro Manila takes about five days while receiving mail within the cities of Visayas and Mindanao takes about 7 days. Receiving mail in far flung areas takes about 15 days.
PHLPost: Iwasan natin ang mga pera at iba pang hindi dapat isansama sa sulat dahil, lalo na kung apunta sa abroad, kinukumpiska yan.
PHLPost: Yung papasok [na mail] sa atin, maghipit din ang ating security sa mga origin. Bago yan i-load sa eroplano, pag may nakita silang dapat hindi isama, kinukumpiska nila.
PHLPost: Safe po ang mga parsela diyan sa Central Main Exchange. Aside from CCTV and X-ray machines, 24 hours iyan binabantayan ng mahigpit.
PHLPost clarifies that the handling fee is not a tax to be paid. It means that the parcel went through the Bureau of Customs and it may be within the divinity's value, which is $200.
PHLPost says it will release Christmas cards and postcards by next week.
