PhilPost strengthens services thru partnerships
The Philippine Postal Corporation (PhilPost) Visayas intensified its services by partnering with other government agencies and private entities as well as adopting modern technology. In a Association of Government Information Officers 7 forum, PhilPost 7 Director for Operations Ben Quiros said at present they are already developing the system of their services in a form of electronic mailing.
“We already develop the service system and applied for electronic mailing and other service wherein PhilPost will accept mail and the sender can check their mailing status through internet,” Quiros said.
The PhilPost also partnered with the i-BAYAD center, which means that the postal corporation can now accept payments for electric and water bills, among other payments.
PhilPost is already accepting payments for Metro Cebu Water District (MCWD) but only for four major postal offices such as Cebu Central, Mandaue City, Lapu-lapu City and Talisay.
Quiros said aside from the MCWD, there are other government agencies and private entities that expressed willingness to partner with PhilPost in delivering its services to the public particular in payments and mailing services.
The Philpost 7 official however, clarified that the partnership only involves the provider and the PhilPost customers, while clients here, are not involved in the agreement or in any payments pertaining to the partnership of service.
“The PhilPost will have to sign a memorandum of agreement with the provider and the customer is out of the payment mode with regards to the payments in the partnered services,” Quiros said
