Philippines Postal Codes
The use of ZIP codes in the Philippines is not mandatory, however it is highly recommended by Philippines post that they be used. Also, unlike American ZIP codes, the Philippine code is a four-digit number representing two things: in Metro Manila, a barangay within a city or city district (as in the case for Manila), and outside Metro Manila, a town or city. Usually, more than one code is issued for areas within Metro Manila, and provincial areas are issued one code for every town and city

PHILIPPINES
A postal code is optional in Philippines addresses — mail is deliverable without one, though including it speeds up sorting.

For the code covering one particular street or building, Philippines's postal service publishes an official finder: phlpost.gov.ph/zip-code-locator. It is authoritative and kept current, which third-party copies often are not.
