Yesterday, we received a couple of packages and some postcards at this new address. Finally, we got something from the post after a month. The postman tried to ask for money for each package, thinking that I am ignorant about their modus operandi. So I told him that the post man in Balulang does not ask for a fee for packages delivered, but him, the one assigned in Macasandig/Mandumol area asks me to pay P 50 for each? In the end, he was not able to victimize me. He was even trying to be funny, and said that a shirt is inside the package. So I told him that I have received a couple of shirts in Balulang too. I guess even if the shirt inside were funny tee shirts, I still would not be laughing at what the postman was trying to do.. Are these people working in the post office going hungry that they would corrupt every Filipino who have packages to claim? The last time, my father paid P 45 for a package that was supposed to be claimed thereat. It was a promotional item from a company from the US that was sent to me, but had to be claimed there. No receipt was given. The next package was sent and another post office personnel was the one who released the package, but no fee was ever charged. So I guess, not all of them are corrupt but many are! So we have to be on guard for them who are and who will always try to suck money from us.. I feel frustrated thinking about this really bad practice of post office personnel-- if only private couriers aren't expensive, I am sure the post offcie would have closed up already..
