Signed For...as in the recepient will have to sign a piece of paper that the post man will provide to verify that the parcel has been received. The only thing I can't understand is why can't they deliver the parcel straight -- why do they have to ask the recepient to collect it from the post office! It defeats the purpose of having postmen.
I have not heard of any laws allowing any staff of the post office to open any parcels unless perhaps if they suspect it contain illegal goods. But normally this is executed by Customs. It is not for them to charge any additional cost on postage as it has been prepaid by you.
Geezz..only in the Philippines!
I have tried to send recorded delivery items to pinas in the past only to be told the insurance wouldnt cover the item in PI,but an item thats signed for is usually delivered to a home and a signature taken as proof of delivery,as Miss P said going to the Post Office to collect it yourself negates the need for a post man and kind of defeats the object 
Also as Miss P said......Geeeezzzzz............Only in the Philippines
