President Rodrigo Duterte participated in the launching of the Digital Innovation and Modernization of the Philippine Postal Corporation (PhilPost) at the Manila Post Office on Thursday, May 19.

In his speech, Duterte congratulated the postal agency for its 30th anniversary and lauded it for its successful launching of its digital innovation that will be enjoyed by the consumers in the new normal.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has opened avenues for innovative products and  assistance that cater to the needs of consumers in the new normal,” Duterte said.

“The modernization efforts of the postal agency are indeed timely and relevant as it facilitates the efficient delivery  of communications, payment of services, as well as goods and merchandise, especially now that industries shift their operation to a more modern method such as e-commerce and online transactions,” he added.

Duterte, who also was issued a new postal card at the event, said PhilPost’s transition to utilize modern technology “will surely boost global competitiveness and stimulate economic  activities during the period of recovery and digital transition.”

“With the success of this project, I thus commend the PhilPost for ensuring responsive and people-centered governance, placing Filipinos at the heart of their operations towards building a high trust society,” he said.

He also thanked the agency in showing their support to his administration’s advocacies and programs for the welfare of his countrymen.

 

In fulfillment of this administration’s ease of doing business agenda beyond my term, I hope that they will constantly explore innovations and strategies that will further streamline, develop, and improve government services to the people with greater efficiency,” he said.

“May our pursuit for change and progress never cease to gain a more momentum in the coming years under the new leadership,” he added.

Duterte ended his speech by thanking the public for supporting him in his presidency. The new country leader will assume his post June 30, 2022. – ag
