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.

• 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.

2012: AN AMAZING YEAR FOR PHLPOST AREA 6

The year 2012 proved to be an amazing year for PHLPost Western Visayas, with the integration of Negros Oriental and Siquijor, and the return of veteran Director Fabiolita P. Ferraris, CESO III as Area Director. Amidst threats of modern communications technology and financial services offered by private couriers, PHLPost Western Visayas rallied to rise above the challenges, exceeding its target by 20.37% and its income of last year by 30%. Director Ferraris attributes this tremendous performance to strong leadership skills, massive marketing of premium products and services, and taking a proactive stand on opportunities as they come. Also in 2012, PHLPost embarked on financial servicing by accepting PhilHealth remittances over the counter and by delivering cash grants to the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) beneficiaries in Region 6 and Negros Oriental. The volume of transactions of these two projects alone is expected to increase in 2013 and beyond. The lady director thanks the members of PHLPost Area 6 family who have been with her from day one in pursuing the objectives into accomplishment, and of course, to the first lady Postmaster General, Ms. Ma. Josefina M. Dela Cruz, and her staff for their never ending support to the area.
