The Philippine Postal Corporation, (Filipino: Korporasyong Pilipino sa
Koreo), abbreviated as PhilPost, is a government-owned and operated corporation responsible for providing postal services in the Philippines. It has a total of 18,000 employees and runs more than 2,000 post offices. Philpost is based in the Philippines's primary post office, the imposing Manila Central Post Office, which overlooks the Pasig River. It is presently under the authority of the Department of Transportation and Communications
(DOTC) as an attached agency. Its policy-making body is the Board of Directors composed of seven (7) members that include the Postmaster General who, at the same time, serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the corporation.
The Philippine Postal Savings Bank, one of three government-owned banks in the Philippines, was organized under
Philpost. However, it is a separate company today.
