In the presence of digital technology, most people no longer have use for postal services. With…read morejust a click of the mouse or tap on the screen, you can easily send your messages via instant messaging or text in a flash. However, there are still instances where you absolutely need to go to the postal office. For instance, if you need to send a registered mail for official documents, only PhilPost can provide you with such service. It's safe to say that at least once in your life, you will need Mr. Postman. And when you do, you really don't have to go to main offices like the Makati Central Post Office if you want to send a letter or a package. When in Makati CBD, you can head to the Mail Station kiosk in Greenbelt 1 and they will do all the legwork for you. This booth, sitting near the up-escalator behind the movie ticketing section, can process and send letters and packages via PhilPost, 2GO, and other private mail courier services to any point in the Philippines and the world. If you are wary and unsure about Mail Station's mail delivery system, then you can use their other service which is mobile phone reloading. They offer various load cards and even pasaload.

If you're still into sending hand written letters to your boyfriend or girlfriend, then this is one…read moreof the places in Makati you can drop that letter off at. If you're sending a postcard, the last time, it cost me Php20. It's more expensive by a few pesos, but at least you don't have to go to the post office and it's a lot cheaper than sending it by LBC. It just takes a bit longer to receive the postcard though. This little stall can also make photocopies of your documents. You don't also have to deal with the long lines 'cause few people come here. Sometimes, I'm in a rush and I'm too lazy to buy load in cards where I have to scratch of the protective covering to reveal some numbers. When I'm that lazy, I pass by this shop, tell them how much I need and the lady sends me the load.

LBC I believe is a business that has served as a godsend for many people in the Philippines. Being…read morea country that receives remittances from overseas day in and day out, I can only imagine how convenient and useful LBC has been for them. In my case, I was able to experience the reliable and efficient services of LBC both as a receiver and as a sender. I sent money to a friend whom I owed as they requested that I do it via LBC so I acquiesced. My money was there in no time. I've also received packages here completely hassle-free from the other side of the metro. Seamless and service-oriented.

I'm so thankful that remittance is now available at shipping centers. Some remittance centers are…read morealready available but what I noticed was remittance at shipping centers is way cheaper particularly with LBC. It saves me a lot of time and effort. I've always been given the task of delivering money from Las Pinas to Pasig or vice versa. Plus, the trip going there takes around at least a hundred pesos when compared to around less than a hundred pesos if you just remit the money via LBC. The transaction is also easy and wouldn't take you more than five minutes especially if you already have the LBC ID. I was also able to pay my friend for a commission to make a cowl for my Batgirl costume. She lives far up North in Bulacan and I, on the other hand in Pasig. It would cost a lot if I had to travel all the way there compared to the 20 pesos remittance fee.

This is where I…read morewrote my requirement papers, did my research, Power Point presentations and printed my 100-page thesis. My laptop is just too heavy to bring to school especially when commuting. What I like about this computer shop is it's fast internet connection and well maintained computer units, despite having a Windows Vista operating system up to this date. Although, I think they should upgrade their OS already, their computers haven't failed any of my usages yet, so I guess there's really no problem with that. I even go to Isko until now whenever I had to upload some huge file on the net. My "12 hours remaining time" of uploading at home is just minutes of waiting time with this computer shop. It definitely makes my computer life efficient up to now! Most people who go here use computers for academic and professional purposes, (I'm not sure if they allow gamers here but I haven't seen one in any of my visits) that's why it has a somewhat library feel, perfect for writing and researching. The staff in Isko is also commendable for being professional with work. You can count on them to trouble shoot any technical difficulties that you may have with the computer that you're using, plus, they're also very alert when it comes file printing and logging in and out of costumers. Rates are only P10/hour of internet, and around P2.00 - P5.00 for their black and white and colored printing. Really cheap compared to most internet shops in the metro. Everything in UP Shopping Center is cheap, anyway, so go there if you're looking for budget computer, photocopy and printing services.

This place has always been more consistent in giving you a peaceful, less heartbreaking experience with your banging out your paper to beat a deadline. It's probably how they've managed to survive staying in the prime spot of the UP SC. The place looks clean and straightforward and business-only even if the person beside you'd just be watching cat videos on Youtube, butyou will easily tune out his laughter while you struggle to contain your tears here. It's comfortable enough and you have a lot of breathing space to calm yourself down with while you juggle browsing your readings with one hand and trying to make your paragraphs look coherent with the other. You appreciate that they don't try to squeeze you in with photocopiers or bookbinding services, so you know you're just getting what you need: a cheap, proper internet connection, MS Office, and a reliable printer. Isko, Kompyuteran ng Iskolar ng Bayan is really just focused on your getting the work done, and you'd realize all along that their name is a tribute... to you.

P40 per shipment for their small bag, and everything I've ever shipped has fit in that thing. Pickup of the item is absolutely free, and neither is there any minimum required.
