Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) has informed that to date, the typhoon has affected several regions across the Philippines, including Antique, Oriental Mindoro, Iloilo, Samar, Bicol, Biliran Negros Occidental, Aklan, Masbate, Zamboanga City, and Northern Cebu. The entire Eastern, Central and Western Visayas regions have also experienced significant disturbances. In addition, the city of Baguio has reported landslides because of the severe weather conditions. These incidents have contributed to ongoing challenges in the region.
The typhoon has resulted in considerable damage to agriculture and infrastructure, particularly in Western Visayas. Flight cancellations have occurred owing to adverse weather conditions, impacting travel and the transport of goods, including mail services.
Damage to postal facilities is further complicating operations, and communication interruptions are occurring due to power outages and damaged networks. As such, postal services in the affected areas are currently facing delays in mail collection, processing, and delivery.
PHLPost is implementing recovery measures to restore and enhance communication channels and remain operational. Due to ongoing recovery efforts, there may be delays to inbound and outbound international mail.
