Did you know that the Manila Central Post Office, a Neoclassical masterpiece in the heart of Manila, has stood as a silent witness to over a century of Philippine history? 📮✨

Designed in 1926 by celebrated architects Juan Arellano and Tomás Mapúa, this architectural gem has endured everything from the ravages of World War II to a devastating fire in 2023. Rebuilt and restored multiple times, it remains a symbol of resilience and a cornerstone of the country’s postal network.

With its iconic Ionic columns and riverside location, the post office is not just a functional space but a cultural treasure that continues to capture the imagination of Filipinos and visitors alike.

Tula ni Jeremiah Chavez Eufemio DALAMPASIGAN SA PANUBIGAN Sa lagaslas ng dalampasigan  Doon ko natagpuan ang kapayapaan Hatid ng hampas ng mga alon At banayad na init ng dapit hapon.

Though short (4 months), my deployment was among the toughest, most challenging and most difficult. The last 45 days were among the things I would never wish for. Ukraine was my 14th country of deployment and the 24th country I traveled to.  After all the twists, turns, trials, tensions and torments, I am feeling tired.  Being a Humanitarian Worker is said to be among the Most Dangerous Jobs because of the associated risks and uncertainties aside from the daily stress & tensions.
