The Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) has introduced promotional lower rates for its international mail services to boost its market position and encourage the public to choose PHLPost for their mailing needs.
According to Postmaster General Luis D. Carlos, the new rates will provide the public with more affordable courier services compared to current market prices, helping them save on mailing expenses.
PHLPost was able to reduce the rates thanks to good governance practices that significantly improved efficiency and operations within the government-owned corporation.
“We are proud to share the benefits of our operational improvements with the public. This new promotion, which significantly reduced the rates of our International Mail Services, is part of our commitment to better serve our customers and contribute to Filipino communities’ economic well-being,” PMG Carlos said.
According to PMG Carlos, the public had long been disadvantaged due to rising courier rates, especially from privately held courier services. “Now, with these new promo rates, we offer them a better choice—one that will enable them to fulfill their mailing needs at a fraction of the cost,” he stated.
PHLPost’s promotional rates for its international mail service are the lowest in the market. For example, sending a 1.5 kg ordinary mail to Japan will cost only Php 1,680, while sending the same to Singapore will cost Php 1,254. If you’re sending it to Australia, it will cost only Php 1,870. The rate to Canada is Php 2,291, to the United Kingdom it is Php 1,823, and to the United States, it is Php 2,250.
For PHLPost’s International Express Mail Service, the rates vary depending on the destination. For packages bound for Australia, the rate starts at Php444.50 for the first 500 grams and increases to Php2,413 for the first kilogram. For packages heading to the United Kingdom, the rate begins at Php513.50 for the first 500 grams and rises to Php3,018 for the first kilogram. For packages bound for the United States, the rate starts at Php631.50 for the first 500 grams and reaches Php2,182 for the first kilogram. Lastly, for packages destined for Singapore, the rate is Php240 for the first 500 grams and Php1,167 for the first kilogram.
With the introduction of the promotional rates, the PHLPost anticipates increased usage of PHLPost services. The organization also assures the public of the efficiency and reliability of their services.
“We are confident that more people will turn to PHLPost for their mailing needs locally and internationally. Our commitment to providing efficient and reliable services remains unwavering, ensuring that our customers receive the best possible experience,” PMG Carlos said.

“Even with the reduced rates, we assure the public that their mail and packages will be handled with the efficiency and highest standards of service,” PMG Carlos said.
PHLPost has introduced the promotional lower rates due to operations cost-saving measures, streamlined operations, and a renewed focus on transparency and accountability. These efforts have allowed the corporation to pass on savings directly to its customers, aligning with its mission to provide affordable and reliable postal services to Filipinos nationwide.
