As snail mail declines, PhilPost diversifies to logistics

As snail mail declines, PhilPost diversifies to logistics

The speed of email has made snail mail nearly obsolete. But the nation’s post offices don’t want to become extinct. Philippine Postal Corporation (PhilPost) is seeking to diversify its services from mail delivery to logistics through a partnership with DHL Express Philippines. “The traditional mail is declining,” said PhilPost CEO and postmaster general Josefina dela Cruz. According to PhilPost data, it delivered 156,165,480 pieces of mail in 2011, down 34 percent from 206,107,210 in 2010, while data is not yet available for 2012. “We are now a logistics company. You send, we deliver. We deliver your mail, we deliver your goods, we deliver your money,” dela Cruz said. This year, dela Cruz said, PhilPost is targeting an increase of 15 percent in revenues to P4.6 billion. In 2012, PhilPost earned P3.5 billion in revenues, 9 percent below its target of P3.8 billion for the year. ‘We are transforming the postal work to logistics services from mail delivery,” PhilPost chairman Cesar Sarino said during the DHL-PhilPost Partnership press conference held in Makati City. PhilPost inked on Tuesday an agreement with DHL Express Philippines to partner for an international service. The partnership will allow PhilPost to expand its services from its 59 partner countries to 220 countries and accept parcels weighing more than 20 kilograms. The service, pegged at DHL rates, is initially available in 12 post offices in highly urban areas: Ortigas, Pasig City; Greenhills, San Juan City; Cebu City; Baguio City; Sta. Rosa, Laguna; Angeles, Pampanga; Iloilo City; Legaspi City; Davao City; and central post offices in Manila, Quezon City and Makati City. Dela Cruz said the partnership will be one year initially, noting that the PhilPost offices offering DHL services are less than 1 percent of its 1,800 offices. The local express services provider will look at expanding to more postal offices after a year, DHL Express country manager Nurhayati Abdullah said. PhilPost entered the logistics business after it received nine out of 12 units of six-wheeler canter trucks and four units of 10-wheeler trucks in January. — BM, GMA News

Philpost issues special stamps for Chinese New Year and Valentine’s Day

Philpost issues special stamps for Chinese New Year and Valentine’s Day

Good news for stamp collectors: the Philippine Postal Service is issuing special stamps to mark the Year of the Snake and Valentine’s Day.

The Chinese New Year stamp has a Junior Dragon (snake) image with “Happy New Year” greetings in Filipino, English and Chinese, state-run Philippine Information Agency reported.

In its Feb. 6 report, the PIA quoted Postmaster-General and PhilPost CEO Josefina dela Cruz as saying the New Year stamps are popular among philatelists or stamp collectors.

A page on the Chinese New Year stamp on PhilPost’s website said some 110,000 stamps with denominations of P10 and P30 were issued starting Dec. 12 last year.

But dela Cruz said another 10,000 souvenir sheets each worth P80 intended for stamp collectors have also been produced.

The Year 2013 is the Year of the Water Snake according to the Chinese zodiac.

It begins on Feb. 10, 2013 and will end on Jan. 30, 2014.

Meanwhile, Philpost is also issuing special stamps for Valentine’s Day.

“Nothing matters more than love on Valentine’s Day. And nothing conveys love to your sweetheart better than a well-composed romantic letter. A beautiful love-letter has been known to win many hearts and seduce many souls. A powerful weapon in a lover’s arsenal, a love-letter is an indispensable part of Valentine’s Day celebrations,” it said.

The 2013 Valentine’s Day stamp features an illustration of a couple in traditional Filipiniana attire holding hands. In the man’s hands is a bouquet of flowers, while a love letter—with a stamp of course—is in the woman’s hands.

“Come what may, romance will never be lost to Pinoys. As long as there are people falling in love, love letters will always be written, cherished and enjoyed forever by the grateful recipient,” it said.

PhilPost said the stamps and Official First Day Covers were made available since January 14 at the Postage and Philatelic Department at Manila Central Post Office. —KG, GMA News
