My fiance tried to get a P.O. Box in Manila. She went to two different locations and was told that the box "was broken."

To me, this sounds fishy and seems maybe that they were looking for bribes.

Does anyone know if this is the case?

It is common knowledge that Phil-Post is dirty and corrupted from the top-down. Although I can only speculate, I can do so with confidence in saying your fiance was likely the potential victim of a bribe. Be cautious. If bribes are already expected upfront, imagine what will happen when she goes to retrieve her mail (if it's even there). I might suggest going to a national freight / shipping office (LBC / FedEx) and seeing if they offer PO boxes. Good luck.

Just curious, what do you need a PO box for?
