Addressing mail to the Philippines from abroad
For mail sent to the Philippines from another country, the address must be readable both in the sending country and in the Philippines. The main rule is to write the country name on the last line in capital letters.
Line order
Recipient name
Unit or house number, street
Barangay
City or municipality, province ZIP
PHILIPPINES
Example
Juan dela Cruz
123 Osmena Boulevard
Barangay Kamputhaw
Cebu City, Cebu 6000
PHILIPPINES
Notes
Write the country as PHILIPPINES in English, since this line is read in the sending country. The four-digit ZIP code stays with the city. Find a code at the Philippines page if you are not sure.
