Philpost6 Brings The Post Office Closer To The People

The Marketing Section, under the leadership of Marketing Specialist Tess D. Planco, is bringing the post office closer to the people through its projects Mobile Postal ID and Mail Pick-up Service.

The Mobile Postal ID

Ms. Planco and her staff, Emmaruth Granzo, visit various barangays, schools, offices, and similar establishments in Iloilo City, bringing with them Postal ID applications, PID cards, and laminating machines so those interested to apply for the Postal ID need not go to the Post Office anymore. Right there and then, they can be issued the Postal ID card.

If your barangay or office wishes to avail itself of this service, please call 033-335-1119 and look for Tess or Ruth to schedule an appointment.

Mail Pick-Up Service

The Marketing staff picks up mails from Pawnshops, Lending Office, and similar establishments. Through the Mail Pick-Up Service, postal patrons, bulk mailers especially, no longer have to go to the Post Office to mail their items. All they have to do is call the number 033-335-1119 (look for Tess or Ruth) to have their mails picked-up.
