The bill requires the Philippine Postal Corporation to replace the current numeric ZIP code system with a new alphanumeric system—two letters for the province and five numbers for the city/municipality and barangay—assigning a unique code to each of the 42,011 barangays, updating the postal website’s locator, giving agencies 36 months to change their databases, and launching a public education campaign.
