| SUBJECT: | The New Zone Identification Program (ZIP CODE) of the Philippines |
The Supreme Court has received a latter dated April 13, 1988,
from Assistant Secretary Jose R. Valdecañas, OIC, Postal Services
Office, requesting assistance in the implementation of the New Zone
Identification Program (ZIP CODE) on all mail matters in the judiciary.
The New Zone Identification Program (ZIP CODE) has replaced the
old Postal Code. It is aimed at facilitating the processing and delivery
of mails throughout the country as well as preparing the Postal
Services Office for future mechanization and automation. This Laudable
program certainly serves the interest of justice as its adoption would
result in expeditious and efficient delivery of writs, processes and
other official communications of the courts.
Accordingly, all courts are hereby enjoined to:
- Secure copies of the New Zone Identification Program (ZIP
CODE) of the Philippines at the Office of the Assistant Secretary, Postal Services Office. Liwasang Bonifacio, Ermita, 1000 Manila. - Use the new ZIP Code numbers in all their official
correspondence as well as encourage court personnel to use the same in
their personal mails; and - Print or write their assigned ZIP CODE numbers on their office stationeries.
April 19, 1988.
