ZIP codes of cities and municipalities in Metro Manila according to the first two numbers

In the Philippines, a ZIP code is used by the Philippine Postal Corporation (PhlPost) to simplify the distribution of mail.[1][2] While its function similar with the ZIP Codes used in the United States, its form and usage are quite different. Its use is not mandatory but highly recommended by the PhlPost. A ZIP code is composed of a four-digit number representing a locality. Usually, more than one code is issued for areas within Metro Manila, and a single code for each municipality and each city in provinces, with exceptions such as:[1]

Additionally, locations such as Basilio Fernando Air Base, Clark Special Economic Zone, Central Luzon State University, Cesar Basa Air Base, Francisco Bangoy International Airport, Laguna Technopark, Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), Manila Domestic Airport (NAIA Terminals 2 & 4), National Center for Mental Health, Philippine Military Academy, University of the Philippines (Diliman & Manila campuses), University of the Philippines Los Baños (College Los Baños), University of Mindanao, and Villamor Air Base have one code each.[1]
