Today, October 9, the Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) celebrates World Post Day by encouraging students online to write letters to their beloved teachers and held a one day Webinar activity for postal employees in the Central and Eastern Visayas region for the proper use of Filipino, the country’s national language on government official correspondence.
Amid the pandemic, through distant learning activity, the postal service goal is to effectively promote the value of gratitude to teachers who have done most, apart from their parents in shaping their future to become better persons in society.
The online seminar will focus on the proper use of the Filipino language in PHLPost official transactions, communications and correspondences, as well as public service undertakings.
Aside from this, PHLPost has released special stamps honoring frontline workers who have been involved in the battle against Covid-19. PHLPost pays tribute to our frontline heroes for doing their jobs even if they are at risk of being inflicted with the virus.
World Post Day was declared by the 1969 Universal Postal Congress in Tokyo as a means to mark the anniversary of the Universal Postal Union’s (UPU) creation in 1874.
The purpose of World Post Day is to bring awareness to the postal service’s role in everyday lives of people and businesses, as well as its contribution to global social and economic development.
Still relevant in the communication industry, PHLPost is the duly designated national postal operator in the Philippines which has the manpower and the network capability to deliver mails, goods and payment services anywhere in the country and around the world. The postal service is an active member of the Universal Postal Union (UPU), the primary forum for cooperation of more than192 postal sector players in the world.
