RD Barcelon Spearheads Bayanihan Project in Aklan






Devastated by Typhoon Frank on June 19, 2008, the Province of Aklan has been in a pathetic state since then. Almost all Post Offices in Aklan were a sorry sight.

Although minor repairs have already been started so as not to hamper the mail operations, there are still plenty to be done. With funds almost exhausted, Philpost 6 Regional Director, Lilia O. Barcelon, called on the cooperation of the postal employees and spearheaded the “bayanihan” project to repaint and beautify Kalibo Post Office, on October 2, 2008.

Donned in working clothes, RD Barcelon herself, took out a paint roller and covered the walls of the Kalibo Post Office in color. Other officials, particularly, Acting Operations Director Benjie Yotoko, Executive Assistant Barbie Abunyawan, Postal District Manager for Aklan Fatima Abangan, Regional Engineer Rolly Mamon, and GSS Chief Noel Somes also did the same.

This Bayanihan Project, which will likewise be conducted in several other post offices this year, is one of the programs of Philpost 6 in celebration of its 110 years of existence.
