The Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) has announced it will open new Express Mail Service (EMS) delivery hubs at the Manila, Quezon City and Makati Central Post Offices and Central Mail Exchange Center (CMEC) in Pasay City this month to help boost its domestic and international express mail services.
The new hubs in Manila, Makati and CMEC Pasay will be operational from January 13, 2025 – the Quezon City has been in operation since November 2024.
These EMS hubs will provide customers better access, convenience and cost savings for EMS items, with undelivered items retained for seven days to give time for customers to request redelivery or claim the items instead of going to CMEC in Pasay City.
PHLPost’s Domestic Express Mail (DEMS) next-day delivery service is designed to serve the needs of customers and strengthen PHLPost’s competitive position in the logistics and e-commerce industry. DEMS items are usually delivered the next day after mailing, provided they are posted before the cut-off time.
For international destinations, PHLPost is banking on its membership with the Universal Postal Union (UPU) and the presence of bilateral agreements with 56 countries for the reciprocal exchange of EMS (Express Mail Service) items.
