MANILA – The Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) is looking into facilitating the logistics and e-commerce of the Kadiwa ng Pangulo to ensure the continuous supply of affordable and fresh produce and commodities.

In a news release on Friday, PHLPost Postmaster General Luis Carlos said the initiative supports local farmers while providing economical food options for Filipino families.

"We are not just distributing agricultural products; we are empowering our farmers and supporting the welfare of our fellow Filipinos by making their lives easier and more sustainable," he said.

Carlos added PHLPost is committed to leveraging its extensive network —in cities and far-flung areas— to help bridge the gap between producers and consumers.

While there is no formal agreement yet, the corporation is keen to help producers to bring their products directly to the market to ensure higher profits.

The PHLPost sets up the Kadiwa ng Pangulo tent at the Manila Central Post Office Annex II compound in Liwasang Bonifacio, Manila City every Friday, following its signing of a memorandum of understanding with the Department of Agriculture in April.

The initiative also introduced the PHP20 Rice Project, which sells high-quality rice at PHP20 per kilogram to target population sectors —indigents, senior citizens, solo parents, and persons with disabilities.

Beneficiaries are allowed to purchase up to 30 kilos of rice per month.
