Serbisyong Postal - 251 Taon Na!

 

Masayang idinaos ng PHLPost Area 6 ang ika-251 taon ng Serbisyong Postal dito sa Pilipinas noong November 21-23, 2018.

Sinimulan ng Dumaguete City Post Office ang selebrasyon sa pagkakaroon nito ng Philatelic Exhibit noong November 21 sa Robinsons Place Dumaguete City, sa koordinasyon sa Dumaguete City Philatelic Stamp Club, kung saan ibinida dito ang mga sari-saring Stamp Collections. 

Noong November 21 din, pormal na tinurn-over ni PHLPost Area Director Atty. Benjie S. Yotoko ang Commemorative Stamps na gumugunita ng ika-100 taong anibersaryo ng Municipality of Estancia na tinaguriang Center for Commercial Fishing at “Alaska of the Philippines”.

  

Festive ang atmosphere sa mga Capital Post Offices ng Area 6 simula November 21 hanggang November 23. May mga balloons at makukulay na dekorasyon sa paligid. Nag set-up din ang bawat Capital Post Office ng snack bars sa teller counters para sa mga kostumer nito bilang pasasalamat sa patuloy na suporta at paggamit ng serbisyong postal.

Ang highlight ng selebrasyon ay naganap noong November 23. Nagkaroon ng isang Thanksgiving Mass sa Brgy. Zamora-Melliza covered court with Fr. Afredo Marmolejo of Millhill Formation House as main celebrant. 

Sumunod dito ang pagpasiklaban ng galing sa “cheers and yells” ng mga postal teams kung saan nag wagi ang Team Iloilo City Post Office. 

May health and wellness activity din na ginanap sa Office ng Area Director. Sa koordinasyon sa Mary Kay, nagkaroon ng lecture at libreng hand spa, facial, and makeup. At habang nag re-relax at nagpapa “beauty” ang mga babaeng empleado, may 3-on-3 basketball tournament naman para sa mga lalaki. 13 teams ang lumahok at naging very exciting ang elimination rounds hanggang sa championship game kung saan nagwagi ang Team Negros Island sa Team Iloilo City Post Office sa score na 21-20. 

Nagpatuloy ang kasiyahan sa hapon, sa pag diwang ng Singing Contest at Macho Gay Contest. Naging kakaiba man ang Singing Contest (dahil ito ay hindi paggalingan ng boses, kundi pababaan ng Videoke Score), game na game pa rin ang ating mga participants. Ironically, ang nagtala ng pinakamababang score ay si Ginoong Genefel Pal-ing ng Team Negros Oriental, na may worldclass ang boses, daig pa ang isang professional singer. At second place naman si Melvin Estrada ng Team Iloilo, na isa ding napakahusay na mang-aawit at performer.

Sa kakaibang Singing Contest pa lang ay entertained na entertained na ang mga empleado at bisita, pero mas napahiyaw ang mga ito nang rumampa na ang mga kalahok sa Macho Gay 2018. Walong tunay na lalaki ang nag-anyong babae para sa pagkakataong maiuwi ang Macho Gay 2018 crown at cash prize na Php 1,500.00.

Sa production number pa lang ay parang bibigay na ang stage sa mga ipinakita ng mga contestants. Agaw-pansin ang mga damit ng mga contestants, at talaga namang nakakaakit ang kanilang kagandahan.

Nag bida ang bawat-isa sa kani-kanilang talento - may kumanta, sumayaw, at nag interpretative dance.

 

Pero ang pinaka bida sa lahat ay si Larry Sillorequez ng Team Iloilo na itinilagang Mr. Macho Gay 2018 at humakot ng awards gaya ng Mr. Head Turner, Mr. Hot Legs, Best in Sports Wear, Best in Casual Wear, at Best in Talent.

Buong-pusong pinasalamatan ni Area Director Atty. Benjie S. Yotoko ang lahat na empleado na sumuporta at lumahok sa selebrasyon, ang mga Macho Gay contestants na talagang nagbigay ng isang napaka entertaining na palabas; ganun din ang Brgy. Zamora Council sa pamumuno ni Punong Barangay Peter B. Abadiano, na pinahintulutan tayong magamit ang Brgy. Zamora-Melliza Covered Court, ang Philippine Postal Credit Cooperative 6 sa pamumuno ni Engr. Rolly Mamon, na nagbigay ng cash assistance, at Postmaster General and CEO Joel L. Otarra at APMG for AdFin Maura M. Baghari-Regis na sinuportahan at binigyan ng pondo ang selebrasyong ito.

Malakas man ang ulan nung hapon na iyon, hindi ito naging hadlang sa tagumpay ng kaganapan. Nagsiuwian ang lahat na may dala-dalang maganda at masayang alaala.

Mabuhay ang serbisyong postal. Mabuhay ang Korporasyong Koreo ng Pilipinas!

PHLPost 6 Takes Part in NFA’s 43rd Anniversary

On invitation by National Food Authority Acting Regional Manager, Bernardo M. Asetre, PHLPost 6 took part in the sports activities in celebration of NFA’s 43rd Anniversary on September 23, 2015. 

NFA is one of the major DMTS clients of Phlpost 6, and its invitation was warmly accepted by PHLPost Area Director Fabiolita P. Ferraris, seeing the gesture as a means to foster camaraderie and sportsmanship among the employees of the two GOCCs, as well as to strengthen business relations with NFA. 


Our players had very little time to practice for the sports events, but that wasn’t obvious when they volleyed and tossed, spiked, blocked, and dug, to win against the NFA spikers in a thrilling mixed volleyball game in the morning. 

In the afternoon, our basketball players’ skills and mental alertness were tested to the limits when they went up against the bigger and brawnier players of NFA. Falling behind during the first two quarters, dread, apprehension, and excitement were felt by our players. 

Tension filled the air, but with the excellent coaching of 
Ms. Roueme Gertrude “Aweng” Supetran, and with our cheering squad headed by Ms. Carlotta Caillo egging them on, our players persevered, kept their eyes on the ball, and rallied to claim the victory in the end. It was a very close match, with PHLPost winning by just one point! 

For PHLPost 6 participants, it was truly a day worth remembering. And not only because of the victory. Friendships blossomed that day, too. 

PHLPost 6 Area Director Fabiolita P. Ferraris thanks NFA Acting Regional Manager, Bernardo M.Asetre, and of course NFA Admin Officer Ed Gonzaga and our very own Marketing Specialist Tess Planco, for going out of their way to make this happen.

 

PhlPost Area 6 Joins the 15th Caravan of Government Services

PHLPost Area 6, represented by a Postal Team headed by PHLPost 6 Administrative Officer Elsa Pameroyan and Marketing Specialist Tess Planco, participated in the 15th Caravan of Government Services spearheaded by the Office of the Ombudsman on August 18, 2015 at Toboso, Negros Occidental.

Letter Carriers from Escalante City, Toboso and
Calatrava Post Offices donned PHLPost t-shirts and boarded their motorcycles to join the motorcade from Toboso National Highway up to the Toboso Cultural Sports Center to officially mark the start of the caravan.

The caravan, the 15th in 7 years, provided an opportunity for Phlpost to educate the mailing public of the New Postal ID and the importance of the postal service amidst the emergence of modern technology. A booth was set up to entertain inquiries about the New Postal ID and address other mailing concerns.

PHLPost was also given the chance to award the Certificates of Recognition and cash worth Php 30,000 each to the 2014-2015 Letter Writing Project grand draw winner Mechael R. Belango of Calatrava I Central School and his teacher Ms. Juanita P. Gatuslao. A Plaque of Appreciation was, likewise, given to Principal II Fidela T. Claro of Calatraval I Central School for her active support to the PHLPost Sulat Mulat Project.

The caravan was very well received by the

public. More than 120 people were served by our Postal Team that day, and some of them went to San Carlos City Post Office the next day to apply for the new Postal ID.

To Deputy Ombudsman for the Visayas Paul Elmer M. Clemente and Acting Director Philip C. Camiguing, thank you for inviting us to participate in such a worthy activity. So great is the response that we couldn’t help but look forward to the next Caravan of Government Services.

By: Ernie Jun Tenizo

Dingle Post Office resumes its postal transactions through a ceremonial opening at its new office at the newly constructed Dingle municipal building. The event was graced by the presence of no less than the Vice Mayor of Dingle who warmly ushered the postal representatives headed by PHLPost 6 Area Director Fabiolita P. Ferraris, CESO III. 

For the past few months, although delivery services in Dingle never ceased, postal window transactions were being entertained at Dueñas Post Office. With the opening of the post office at the new building, Dingleanons can now instantly avail themselves of the postal products to their convenience. They don’t need to travel to the next town, that is Dueñas, to claim their parcels and other mail items, either. 

Director Ferraris conveyed her appreciation to Mayor Dr. Rufino Palabrica III for the accommodation of PHLPost in its new office. In return, the lady director pledged an efficient and prompt postal service to his constituents. 

Municipal department heads, school principals and the head of a state college also attended the event. PHLPost Department Manager Archie Gonzales, AdFin Chief Atty. Benjie S.
