Barangay Postal ID Campaign: Starting The Year Right

The Marketing Section of Philpost 6, under the leadership of Tess D. Planco, got to a good start by bringing the postal services closer to the people, raising up hopes that the year 2011 would be even better and brighter for Philippine Postal Corporation.

This early, Ms. Planco and her staff have already visited 3 barangays in Iloilo City to process Postal ID applications so that barangay residents no longer need to go to the Post Office.

The Postal ID is a credible proof of one’s identity. It is the only Philippine-issued ID that can be accepted in foreign countries, making it very useful to OFWs and those who wish to travel abroad. Needless to say, everybody needs a Postal ID for any of the following:

• postal transactions
• bank transactions
• transactions with government agencies and private firms
• credit card application

It is fairly easy to apply for a Postal ID, and we can make things even easier for those in the barangays. Barangay officials need only to schedule an appointment with us (we can be reached at 335-1119 or 509-8360) and our Marketing Staff will visit them, bringing along PID application forms and PID cards, thereby saving barangay residents a trip to the Post Office. However, as we desire to protect the integrity of our Postal ID, the following are strictly required of PID applicants:

• Barangay Clearance
• Residence Certificate
• 2 recently 2x2 photographs

Project DDD: Door-To-Door Delivery of Parcels

In a bid for a more efficient postal service, Philpost 6 now offers the door- to-door delivery of parcels (registered and ordinary) in Iloilo City, Roxas City, and Kalibo, Aklan.

In addition to the regular PTCC fee of P 40.00, parcel customers only need to pay a delivery fee of P 60.00 (or P 150.00 for RUSH delivery) to have their parcels delivered right at their doorstep.

Interested to avail yourself of this special service? Follow these steps:

Step 1 Upon receipt of your Parcel Notice (it is standard procedure that a parcel notice will be delivered to you, informing you that your parcel is already at the post office), call the Postmaster of the Post Office in your area to schedule the delivery of your parcel.

For addressees served by Iloilo City Post Office, please call:

Postmaster NONITO PELOBELLO
Tel. No. 509-9301

For addressees served by Roxas City Post Office, please call:

Postmaster MARCELINO PALABRICA
Tel. No.

For addressees served by Kalibo Post Office, please call:

Postmaster CRISTINA MORALES

Step 2 Be ready with your Postal ID or any valid ID and Parcel Notice. You will be required to present these upon delivery of your parcel. If you will not be around on the day you scheduled the delivery, the following will be required for presentation:

• Letter of authority
• Postal ID or any valid ID of the authorized party
• Your Postal ID or any valid ID
• Parcel Notice



Customers must inform the post office that they want their parcels specially delivered to them within seven days upon receipt of the Parcel Notice.

Customers with more than one parcel for delivery can also take advantage of this service. The rates would be as follows:

Number of Parcels Amount to be collected Rush DDD
2-3 P 100.00 P 90.00
4-6 150.00 90.00
7-10 200.00 90.00

Project DDD is designed by Market Specialist Tess D. Planco,.one of this region’s nominees to the Ten Outstanding Postal Workers for CY 2009.

Affordable Photo Services at Philpost-6

Postal ID applicants no longer have to go through so much trouble coming up with ID pictures for Postal ID. Philpost-6 now offers photo services at the Regional Office and Bacolod City Post Office.

For only P 35.00, you get 6 pieces of high-quality passport-sized ID pictures already. This is actually cheaper than having your photos professionally taken and printed.

So don’t worry if you don’t have your ID pictures with you yet when you apply for a Postal ID, our customer-friendly staff will take care of that. As much as possible, though, we encourage that you come in business attire, or at the very least sleeved tops (not sleeveless or tube tops, please!), considering that your Postal ID will be used for business transactions.

Philpost 6 Goes To The Mall

On its 108th anniversary, the Civil Service Commission called for the support and cooperation of the various government agencies in Region 6 by participating in its project, “Government Express Goes To The Mall”.

Upon the instruction of Regional Director Lilia O. Barcelon, Philpost 6 responded to the call, and eagerly set up a booth at the Activity Center of SM City Iloilo, to run for a whole week beginning September 22-26, 2008.

Manned by the Marketing Staff, headed by the Regional Marketing Specialist, Tess D. Planco, the Philpost Booth accepted and processed Postal ID applications and attended to product inquiries.
