Sending a letter to Manila/Philippines to be picked up at the post office (Poste Restante)
Upvote:-1
Your friend should check with a local post office in the Philippines, but as far as I know, most, if not all, countries have this service. In Canada we call it "General Delivery" in English (still "Poste Restante" in francophone regions), so the name might change.
Some postal services have a fee for this; many (e.g. Canada) don't. But it would be best to verify this at the destination directly.
Failing this, there are often package/mail services that will accept letters and packages for others, for a fee.

She needs check with the post office. Normally were I live. The post office sends you a note to your postal drop to come to the bigger city to get your package or id duty is owed. Does she have a Philippine postal I.D. card? She is picking up nothing at the post office with out that! That card should have the information needed on it as to how or were to send to her. Your postal I.D. is the number 1 I.D. in the Philippines. So she should know that. And have that I.D.. If not she need get one before picking up any thing from the post office or a postal drop.

From the 2010 Rough Guide: Philippines
"Major post offices in Manila and elsewhere have a counter for Poste Restante."
There is also at least one Mail Boxes, Etc. in Manila; no doubt using them would cost more than regular mail. Also, I am not sure if they provide the same services internationally as the ones in the U.S.A. do, so you might not be able to send a letter for onsite pick up there.
