Author Topic: Lousy Philippine Post Office? (Read 5623 times)

By the Bohol Chronicle

Provincial lawmakers are stepping in amid mounting complaints against the government-owned Philippine Postal Corporation (Philpost) for delayed mails.

Provincial Board Member Aster Piollo asked fellow lawmakers to conduct an inquiry into the problem of delays in the delivery of mails sent through Philpost.

Piollo echoed the criticisms aired by Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 50 Presiding Judge Dionisio Calibo who complained on the slow service of judicial notices and other court-related documents sent via the government postal office.

Panglao Mayor Benedicto Alcala likewise shared the same sad experience on the constant delays in the delivery of mail matters especially those connected with the municipal governmentâ€™s official correspondence and notices for judicial proceedings.

According to Piollo, the Philpost should address their poor services as this does not only affect government operations but also those of private individuals who expect on-time dispatch of their mails.

Judge Calibo, who had a chance of calling radio station dyRD over complaints regarding the mediocre service of Philpost, said the post office should realize the urgency of mails pertaining to judicial proceedings.

The judge cited instances when court hearings are repeatedly postponed due to the absence of the parties of the case owing to their delayed receipt of the courtâ€™s notice for their appearance in a scheduled hearing.

The Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) committees on public utilities and public accountability will be conducting the inquiry on the government postal services.

I have never had a problem with the post office here. i just do not like the ideal that we can send forex boxxes here before going to the Philippines but we are not able to send them from the Philippines to any other country.

It makes sending pasalaboom very hard to send.

I agree with you Precy dear.

There was one time I called Mercury Drugs in Manila if they could ship me a certain medication. NOPE! there is no such thing as overseas shipment! What the hell???

Postal is one of Americas biggest business. Why cant our country invest such?

Jams, I was hesitant at first to send something to my nieces and nephew in Davao but when I asked my sister, she said, grabeh pod ka ate. ok ra post office dire oi! So I tried. I had some pictures and a 10 dollar bill each to the three kids. I sent the mails to their school because I want to surprise them. Kaluoy sa Lord nadawat bya pod. Or basin gamay ra ang 10 dollars para kuhaon. But anyway, since then, mag suk-ip na ko'g gamay na bills for the kids and so far, so good. In fact, nadawat nila after 2 weeks.

Nan karon when BOC Bambi and Markus came to visit us here, she asked me to mail postcards to her some TB friends and to their neighbor in Europe. Pastilan wa jud naka abot except for two.

mao jud Graze, swertehay sab, naa man maka abot, pero daghn sab mawala pag naay cash sa sulod. pag greetings card, may Ok kay kapal unya lisod makita ang cash sa sulod pero pag papel lng klaro kaayo ang warta sa sulod.

morag standard ng 2-3 weeks from pinas to states and vice-versa. so far naka padala na sab ko gamit ang DHL. og gikan states, mas ok ang balikbayan box na lng kay no limit sa weight, kaso mga 4-6 weeks pud moabot lagi kay by boat man.

Dili na man uso karon nga magpadala ug sulat sa post office. Kon dunay emportante, urgent news, e Text na lang o email o long distance call. Kon duna kay package, LBC na lang.

This is the fastest way to communicate information. For the last three yearss, wala na ko kapadala ug sulat sa post office.

it might interest you to know, people, that when the post office vacated its last rented location prior to its transfer to its own building at the old city hall compound near the cathedral, thousands of undelivered letters were discovered hidden in the ceiling of that building. obviously, this is where the thieves at the post office discarded the letters that they had tampered with... i'm just wondering if there aren't any tampered letters stashed and/or discarded in the ceiling of the building they occupy now.
