Hi!

I'd like to request the information on the history of mailboxes in the country. This is a genuine curiosity for me and at the same time I'm a freelance journalist doing a story on why there aren't mailboxes in our country.

Here are some key points I want to get:
- The history of mailboxes
- How do citizens receive mail now?
- Are mailboxes phased out?
- The competitors of PhilPost
- How does PhilPost standout amid the competition

It would be of great help if you could respond to this.

Thank you!
