Carlos expressed his appreciation to the Japanese government for fully supporting the Philippine Postal Service by sending Japanese consultants from Japan Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan, Japan Post and Toshiba to conduct a comprehensive study on its mail and parcel distribution at its office of exchange located at Central Mail Exchange Center in Pasay.

“During his visit to PHLPost,  Japan State Minister Tsuge, who is a former Post Office Postmaster understands our needs and is committed to help in modernizing the Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) and explore potential collaborations”, Postmaster General Luis Carlos said. 

This initiative provides excellent opportunities for the Philippines to adopt Japan’s postal technologies and operational knowhow to support modernization and upgrading of postal services particularly on e-commerce and digital transformation. 

According to a study, the Philippines e-commerce sales reached USD17 Billion in 2021 and expected to grow by 17% in  2025 totalling to USD24 Billion sales.

Japan’s support aims to modernize PHLPost’s services, incorporating cutting-edge technology to address the evolving needs of the growing e-commerce sector. 

Japan will assist PHLPost in developing its postal service to enhance and strengthen the mail processing at its office of exchange and return of operations of the banking service. The cooperation is expected to bring back post office reliability and successfully enter the e-commerce business.
