I have complained and ranted many times in the past about the crazy practices of the Philippine Postal Service, and here I present you with an exhibit of proof of how they can destroy covers.
Already prone to damage because of its large size, this cover was "taped" and postmarked for "security purposes" to prove that the letter arrived at the mail processing center in bad order. Ironically, they made the matter worse by putting tape and applying strange markings.....
Thankfully, the cover was not particularly philatelic, or I'd be wailing the loss due to strange Philippine postal practices....

Hope the Philippine Postal will handle with due care all items they have received specially if those items are unsual finds you bought in the online marketplace.
I hope so, too. But it seems that there is little hope for improvement in mail handling...... :-( That is what you have to deal with when you live in a third world country..... always the threat that your things might get damaged! :-O
