Company description
The Philippine postal system has a history spanning over 250 years. The first post office was established in the city of Manila in 1767. It was organized under a new postal district of Spain in 1779, encompassing Manila and the entire Philippine archipelago. In 1783, the postal service was organized in the Philippines-overseas mail from the Philippines was conveyed to Europe by Spanish ships via eastbound routes through Mexico. Later on, the postal district was re-established on December 5, 1837. After a year, Manila became known as a leading center of postal services within Asia. Spain joined the Universal Postal Union in 1875, which was announced in the Philippines two years later.

During the Philippine Revolution, President Emilio Aguinaldo ordered the establishment of a postal  
Show more service to provide postal services to Filipinos during that time. On September 5, 1902, it was organized as a bureau under the Department of Trade (currently known as Department of Trade and Industry) by virtue of Act No. 426, which was passed by the Philippine Commission. The Philippines finally joined the Universal Postal Union in January 1, 1922 as a sovereign entity.

The Manila Central Post Office Building, the center of the Philippine postal services and the headquarters of then-Bureau of Posts, was completed in 1926. It was destroyed during World War II (1945) but was rebuilt in 1946, after the war.

The Manila Central Post Office located at LiwasangBonifacio is a neo-classical building designed by two American architects and a Filipino namely: Ralph Doane, Tomas Mapua, and Juan Marcos de Guzman Arellano. The Post Office Building was considered as the grandest building during its time, and is now considered as one of the dominating landmarks in Metro Manila.

With the overhaul of the Philippine bureaucracy in 1987, the Bureau of Post was renamed the Postal Service Office (PSO) by the virtue of Executive Order No. 125 issued by then-President Corazon Aquino on April 13, 1987. It was also that order which placed PSO under the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC). On April 2, 1992, by virtue of the Republic Act No.7354 issued by then-President Fidel V. Ramos, PSO became a government owned and controlled corporation named as the Philippine Postal Corporation of more commonly known today as PHLPost.

Delayed EMS DOCUMENTS STILL ENROUTE SINCE OCT 5, 2020
My sister in japan sent me EMS documents sent sept 29. Subsequently recieved in manila oct 2, enroute to office concerned oct. 5 but until now havent reieve yet and still enroute to iloilo if ship tru seamail it should arrive already but until now still enroute. It takes only 18 hours by ship. It should not be send by seamail because it was paid in japan express 3 days only. What happened? Why? It takes too long to receive it? Shipped tru container van? Why? Classified it as Express mail or airmal. I just cant understand why. Covid? Its not a reason in japan its covid also why is it they can send it promptly? Im very disapointed and sender was angry because she paid it right in japan for an express mail. Its sad to think that philpost sevices havent change at all if there is for the worst. Shame on the kind of services you have it cost much for the sender to send it hoping for right and good service. Very dissapointing and for this i will rate philpost sevices as very poor beyond compare.
