PHLPost Unveils Game-Changing Postal Station in Obando – Here’s Why It’s a Big Deal!

 

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

The Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) has recently inaugurated the Obando Postal Station in Obando, Bulacan, marking a significant expansion in its service coverage. This new three-story facility, located at People's Park in front of Obando Church, was established through a partnership between the Obando Municipality and PHLPost. It also houses Obando’s tourism information center, providing residents with convenient access to both postal services and local tourism information. 

The formal opening ceremony was attended by PHLPost Postmaster General and CEO Luis D. Carlos, Obando Mayor Leonardo D. Valeda, municipal councilors, and other officials. Postmaster General Carlos emphasized that the new postal station symbolizes continuous progress in services, strengthening connections between people across the country and around the world. He highlighted PHLPost's membership in the Universal Postal Union (UPU), which connects it with 192 other member countries, ensuring reliable and extensive postal service reach. 

Mayor Valeda underscored the significance of the new postal station for Obando, noting that since the closure of the old postal station eight years ago, residents had to travel to nearby cities, such as Valenzuela, to meet their mailing needs. The new facility is a much-welcomed development, providing essential access and services to the citizens of Obando. 

At the newly opened postal station, the public can efficiently and conveniently mail letters and express packages, purchase stamps and other philatelic products, apply for a Postal ID, send express mail, postal cards, and more. 

In addition to the Obando Postal Station, PHLPost has been actively enhancing its services nationwide. On January 27, 2025, PHLPost opened the Tabogon LGU Postal Station in Cebu, aiming to provide faster and more efficient transactions for the public. 

To further improve delivery services, PHLPost has expanded its logistics fleet with 18 new trucks, enhancing its capacity to handle bulk items for both government and private sectors.

 Additionally, PHLPost is set to open new next-day delivery hubs across parts of Metro Manila, including the Manila, Quezon City, and Makati Central Post Offices, complementing an existing hub in Pasay City. These hubs aim to boost domestic and international express mail services, providing faster delivery options for customers. 

PHLPost has also announced an improved Postal ID featuring enhanced security measures and a QR code, with plans for future integration into cashless transactions. 

These developments reflect PHLPost's commitment to modernizing its services and infrastructure, ensuring that postal services remain accessible, efficient, and reliable for all Filipinos.
