Philippines Postal Codes

If you are filling out a Philippines address, use the 4-digit ZIP code for the city, municipality, or specific Metro Manila area. Do not add a fifth digit just because a foreign form says “ZIP code.” The Philippines uses “ZIP code” as the common term, but the format is still four numbers.

A realistic Manila address would look like this: 123 Escolta Street, Binondo, Manila 1006, Philippines. For central Manila, codes like 1000, 1002, 1006, and nearby 10xx codes come up often, but they are not all the same. Binondo, Ermita, Malate, Intramuros, and other Manila districts can have different codes even though the city name is still Manila.

A soft way to read the codes is this: Metro Manila often has many area-level codes; Quezon City, Manila, Makati, Pasig, and other cities may each have several. Outside Metro Manila, it is more common for a town or municipality to have one main code. That is useful practical guidance, not an official barangay-by-barangay rule for every address.

The UPU addressing guide for the Philippines says the postcode has 4 digits and is placed to the left of the locality or province name, while PHLPost’s ZIP Code Locator is the practical source to check the exact code when the city or district matters.

So if the address only says “Manila,” do not automatically type 1000. Check the district, barangay, or post office area first. For deliveries, the barangay and street details can matter as much as the ZIP code, especially in Metro Manila.
