Having not found any mail in my Dumaguete City Post Office box or no word on my package that arrived in Manila 21 days ago, i finally found the Postmaster in his second floor office. Thought i'd pass along this info, hoping that it is correct...
The problem is that the contract between PhilPost and TransPac airlines (i think i got the name right) to deliver mail to the provinces expired two weeks ago and while the new contract is being negotiated, voila, NO MAIL... (DO NOT, REPEAT, DO NOT ask why philpost waited until after the contract expired)...
Apparently in the meantime, there is a sea container in Cebu now with mail for several post offices waiting to be opened, separated, and delivered. Maybe if we're lucky, we'll see mail in a week. And also DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT pull the usual foreigner rant and yell at Vickie or Jun-Jun, remember, the fault is in manila, not here, i think... (will federalism change anything?)....

If you miss any letter or parcel at PhilPost office, go up to the 2nd floor. Huge room with stockpiles of mail, they allow you to search there for your stuff. Friend of mine was surprised how many missing letters he found there.

The bit about "...waiting until after the contract expired.." is NOT a surprise <grin>-
