MANILA – The Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) has assured the public that essential mail delivery operations continue despite persistent heavy rains and widespread flooding caused by monsoon rains.
PHLPost stated that it continues to deliver important documents, government communications, and relief-related correspondence in safe areas, recognizing the critical role of communication during emergencies.
“PHLPost serves as a vital public utility in delivering communications and services, especially when the public needs it most,” the agency said in a statement.
The Central Mail Exchange Center (CMEC) remains fully operational with disaster protocols in place. Postal services continue in unaffected areas, while postal teams actively monitor local conditions to resume suspended services as soon as possible.
PHLPost emphasized that the safety of its letter carriers and personnel is a top priority. Postal operations are conducted in coordination with local disaster response units and follow strict safety protocols to protect workers and mail.
The agency asked for public understanding in areas experiencing unavoidable delays and reaffirmed its commitment to serve the people, even under challenging circumstances.
Torrential rains, affecting large parts of Luzon and the Visayas, have led to work and class suspensions, road closures, and evacuations of thousands of families due to rising floodwaters.
Weather authorities have warned of more rain in the coming days, prompting continued monitoring and disaster preparedness nationwide.
The President has issued directives to prepare for emergency responses this rainy season, particularly in flood-prone areas.
