Mike Planas has been named as the new chairman of the board of directors by the Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) and will be charged with revitalizing and upgrading the country’s postal service.
Planas will be responsible for the post’s journey toward digital transformation and will seek to expand PHLPost’s services to other business lines such as e-commerce, warehouse facilities and logistics to better meet the evolving demands of the Filipino public.
“Let’s listen to what the Filipinos need, and let’s serve them with gravitas,” Planas said, adding that he aims to implement the changes through fostering effective collaboration among PHLPost officials, employees and stakeholders.
Planas also supports the efforts to rebuild and restore the country’s iconic Central Post Office building in Manila, which was destroyed by a massive fire in May 2023.
