PHLPost Exposes Deceptive Scam: Public Urged to Stay Vigilant Against Fake Delivery Messages

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

In a chilling reminder of the growing sophistication of online scams, the Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) has issued an urgent and emphatic warning to the public: do not fall victim to fraudulent messages masquerading as official notices from PHLPost or other courier services.

These deceitful messages, often cloaked in the familiar logos and names of trusted delivery companies, are designed to manipulate recipients into clicking malicious links or sharing sensitive information—and they’re growing more convincing by the day.

According to PHLPost, these scams typically come via SMS, email, or messaging apps, claiming a parcel or mail could not be delivered due to an incorrect address. The message then urges the recipient to update their details by clicking a link and paying a bogus fee of ₱17.05. But what lurks behind that seemingly harmless prompt is a fake website, crafted to harvest personal and financial data.

Postmaster General Luis D. Carlos has strongly condemned these deceptive tactics and appealed to the public for heightened vigilance.

“These scammers pretend to be legitimate companies or individuals, sending online messages or calls that look convincing but are laced with danger. We warn everyone: do not respond, do not click, and do not be deceived. Your data and your privacy are at risk,” he stressed.

The tactics these fraudsters use are not just annoying—they’re sinister. They often inject fear, sending threats or false warnings to trick victims into acting impulsively. But let it be known:

PHLPost does not send threats. PHLPost does not demand payments through links. And PHLPost does not request address confirmations via text or email.

To protect yourself and those around you:

Do not click any suspicious link claiming to be from PHLPost or a courier.

Do not respond to requests for payments or personal information.

Do not call numbers included in these suspicious messages.

Instead, verify the legitimacy of any parcel-related communication directly with PHLPost. Contact their official Customer Service Hotline at (02) 8288-7678, send an email to phlpostcares@phlpost.gov.ph, or visit their verified website: www.phlpost.gov.ph.

As online threats continue to evolve, so must our awareness. In the face of deception, knowledge and caution remain our best defense. Don’t let scammers deliver danger to your doorstep.

For Everything You Do: A Mother's Day Celebration That Transcends Tradition

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

Some wear crowns, others capes. But the true heroes of our lives? They wear everyday clothes, carry tired eyes, and walk with grace that defies the chaos around them. This May 10 and 11, Vista Mall and Starmall are turning that quiet, relentless heroism into a spectacle of gratitude with a nationwide celebration unlike any other: For Everything You Do – a tribute to mothers in all their strength, softness, and silent power.

The Heartbeat of Our Homes, Honored Like Never Before

Across every corner of the Philippines, from bustling city malls to quieter provincial branches, Vista Mall and Starmall will be transformed into havens of appreciation. This two-day festival is not just a shopping mall event—it is a love letter to mothers, written in music, moments, and memories.

“As a mother, you don’t ask for a parade,” said Alma, 53, a mother of four from Pasig. “But when someone stops to say thank you, even in the smallest ways, it means the world.”

This weekend, it won’t just be a thank you. It will be a celebration worthy of queens.

Immersive Moments, Made to Be Remembered

Imagine walking through a mall and hearing the gentle swell of violins echo through open spaces—timeless classics mingling with modern melodies as string musicians serenade the mothers seated below. For a moment, the noise of daily life fades, replaced by harmonies that speak directly to the heart.

In these same spaces, families can join hands at interactive workshops, learning together in culinary masterclasses or unleashing creativity in guided art sessions. Children, young and grown, will craft more than just gifts—they’ll create shared experiences etched into the heart.

Every smile, every embrace, every tear of joy will be captured by professional photographers stationed at custom-designed photo installations, ready to preserve these fleeting, yet unforgettable, seconds in timeless keepsakes.

“Our goal,” said Christian Marcos, Senior Marketing Officer for Vista Mall, “is to create moments where moms can stop being everyone’s everything—and just be honored, loved, and held.”

Surprises from the Heart

As if this wasn’t enough, Vista Mall and Starmall are keeping some of their most touching moments a surprise. Attendees will stumble upon carefully curated experiences that will spark joy, ignite nostalgia, and, perhaps, draw a few happy tears.

“We wanted to leave room for wonder,” Marcos added with a smile. “Mothers spend their lives surprising us—with birthday cakes, life advice, quiet strength. This time, we’re returning the favor.”

A Collaboration of Love

The celebration is made even more meaningful through the support of like-minded brands who recognize the boundless value of motherhood.

Co-presented by wellness advocate Moringa-O2, kitchen favorite Masflex Cookware, the culinary spice of Hot Dak Philippines, and authentic flavor leader Namkwang Food Philippines, this event is as nourishing to the heart as it is to the senses.

The Bistro Group brings a touch of gourmet flair to the festivities, while leading media partners like Wazzup Pilipinas, Edge TV Philippines, EntrepNegosyo, ASTIG.PH, and TechKuya ensure that every magical moment is shared across the nation.

A Celebration Without Borders

This isn’t just an event. It’s a movement—one that reaches mothers everywhere, from Metro Manila to the provinces, from urban centers to quiet towns. For Everything You Do will unfold simultaneously in every Vista Mall and Starmall nationwide, embracing mothers from all walks of life.

“A mother’s love knows no geography,” Marcos emphasized. “It crosses mountains, oceans, generations. Our celebration must do the same.”

Because Every Mother Deserves the World

As Mother’s Day draws near, Vista Mall and Starmall extend an open invitation to every family: bring the woman who raised you, supported you, loved you fiercely and unconditionally. Give her an experience that matches the depth of her devotion.

For the quiet sacrifices, the late-night lullabies, the unspoken courage, and the infinite love—this weekend, let us say the words that mothers rarely hear loud enough: thank you, for everything you do.
