PHLPost In the Age of Technology

Many changes are about to happen in PHLPost-6, and no less than the Assistant Postmaster General for Operations, Robert O. Mondoñedo, delivered the good news. APMG Mondoñedo, together with Air Mail Exchange Department Manager Florentino A Guy-Joco, Express Mail Exchange Department Manager Peter Bartolome, and Management Information System Specialist Raven Kavoori, introduced the new procedures and systems in mail operations during the two-day training for eBMS for walk-in clients, Go-Online Accounts and IPS Tracking, at PHLPost Administrative Center, Zamora Street, Iloilo City.

Yes, PHLPost is taking advantage of technology by upgrading its products and services to suit current trends and for the convenience of its mailing patrons.

Here are some of the things to expect in the coming days:

• eBMS for walk-in clients. Individual mailing patrons may now enjoy the electronic business mail service, one of the newest offerings of PHLPost that used to be limited to bulk mailers. This type of service gives clients the opportunity to track and trace their mails 24/7 from posting to delivery. This service is mandatory for all Domestic Registered Mails.

• Go-Online. Individual and Bulk Mailers may apply for a Go-Online Account, allowing them to encode the details of their mails online and print their Certificates of Mailing right in the comfort of their homes/offices.

• Mechanized Sorting of Mails. Electronic sorting machines will be deployed in mail distribution centers in Area 6, and these are expected to hasten the dispatch and consequently the delivery of mails to the intended recipients.

The first batch of Post Offices to offer these online services are:

1) Iloilo City PO
2) Bacolod City PO
3) Dumaguete City PO
4) Kalibo PO
5) San Jose Antique PO
6) Roxas City PO
7) Jaro PO
8) Robinsons Iloilo PO
9) Robinsons Roxas PO
10) San Carlos PO
