PHILIPPINES ADDRESS FORMAT

[darcyparalegal 0]

Hello,

 

I am a paralegal and am trying to send some documents to the Philippines. I have the general idea of how the format of the address should be, but the address provided to me is confusing. Apparently this is the address of the Mendez United Methodist Church:

 

9155@(B) JP Rizal Street, Galicia III

Mendez-Nunez, Cavite, Philippines

 

So my questions are:

1) What does the 9155@(B) mean?

2) Is this the correct format? 

3) Is "GALICIA III" a city? 

4) What is a Barangay, and does/should this address have one?

 

Thank you in advance...

Hi,

I'm from Cavite before I came here in the US  so my address is almost the same format except the 9155@ (B). You can check the address here https://nearbyph.com/pages/mendez-united-methodist-church/102479 or give them an email to be sure.  So here's my answer to your questions below; 

1. What does the 9155@(B) mean? - this could be a block number or lot number of the church. This is common in the Philippines

2. Is this the correct format?  - All is correct  except the 9155@(B) . Maybe this is the block number and lot number of the church. you can ask

3. Is "GALICIA III" a city?  - It can be a part of the Barangay. check this link - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mendez,_Cavite

4. What is a Barangay, and does/should this address have one? - Barangay is a Filipino term of village, and yes, this should have 1.

Hi sweet01,

 

Thanks for your reply! You mentioned in your answer to my first question, that a block number or lot number is common in the Philippines. Is the format of the block/lot number that I provided standard in the Philippines? I am surprised of the @ and the (B), because I couldn't find any other address with either. I appreciate you providing the links. The nearbyph.com link was one of the first links I used before joining this site, since I found answers on the format of a Philippines address. The address could not be found on that site, nor on Google Maps, not with the 9155@(B) part.

 

I should have disclosed I am not sending documents to the church; the person I am trying to send documents to has a reputation for lying and giving false information with no basis, but says this is their new address... I suppose I could call the church and ask, since it's practically going to be next door or nearby. 

 

The Wikipedia link was very helpful and answered my question. Thank you so much!

You're welcome. I see, yes, you can give them a call if I were you. Block and lot number is standard in most addresses but not all like commercial stores or condos. A sample block and lot number is like this ; Block 2 Lot 4 , it will specify the number.
