A quick postal question.

[HumanAfterAll]

Thank you all for your responses. So quick!

I have nothing important to send, it's just nice to send something physical with a message.
My girlfriend lives in Malate, Manila, so I'm hoping this is to an advantage.

I sent the postcard from Bohol in March, Singapore in April and the one from the UK just a few weeks ago, so I still have a little faith in that arriving.

Thank you for resolving my query about the post office collection and a blessing on all your mail to and from Philippines.

Living in manila may turn out to be a disadvantage
Always helps to give the postman a small Christmas present here in the provinces as he cycles 3km just to give me a letter that he could easily drop of at our house in town. Sometimes a little extra for good service goes a long way in the Philippines.
