Do you want the Philippine National Historical Commission, City of Baguio, President Benigno Simeon Aquino III and PHILPOST to consider and declare the old Baguio Post Office building as a HISTORICAL SITE? Postal offices are considered historical monuments and portal of human interaction that connected people around the world. Baguio's Post Office reflects a period reminiscent of colonial times and it is one of the few remaining landmarks of the city's glorious past. Sadly, it is presently obscured by cellphone loading stations, eateries, karaoke pub house and others unimaginable of a postal office. With Baguio City's status as the Educational Center and the Communication Hub of Northern Philippines, the Baguio Post Office can likewise contribute and best serve its purpose as a Postal Museum that can also feature the various forms of communication. We therefore appeal to all who may have come across this petition to sign and endorse said move to convert Baguio's Post Office into a Postal Museum so that it reaches the authorities concerned for their favorable response.

Dear Mr. President,
By way of introduction, please allow me to start by stating that in Baguio, there used to be two imposing landmarks atop Session Road and one of them is the Baguio Post Office. Today, no one would seem to recognize the once important structure that connected people from different continents. Postal Offices around the world are considered historical monuments because of their significant contribution to the human race bridging people of various creeds and races in all four continents. But, what we have here in Baguio is far from what a global mindset considers as a monument. In the absence of what they used to offer as social telegrams, telegraphic transfer and others that are considered obsolete, perhaps the place can be put to good use as a communication show room that features postal services, stamp and telegraph exhibits, letters from notable personalities etc. including displays of media paraphernalia and the likes. Let me further emphasize that non performing government assets such as postal offices need not have to resort to commercialization or space rental in order to keep the facility maintained. Rather, it can be put to use and one alternative is to convert it into a public museum. Postmen used to say that they always ring twice but this time as a letter sender, I am ringing your bell to submit a proposal converting Baguio's dilapidated and non functioning postal office building into a world class Philippine Postal Museum to which I am offering my services for free. Please view the attached photos and slides for the proposal that I am respectfully submitting for your consideration. Thank you very much and I hope to receive a positive feedback on this. Very truly yours. JOEL ARTHUR P. TIBALDO Multi-media Artist and Curator of the Media Newseum Baguio City Mobile 09178458534
