                    [Summary] => Was it the threat of anthrax, the convenience of e-mail, or simply hard times that led to a 10 percent drop in Christmas snail mail?


The volume of mail and packages sent through the Philippine Postal Corp. during the Yuletide season decreased by 10 percent, Central Mail Exchange Center (CMEC) chief Love Joy Matias said yesterday.


Matias attributed the decrease to two factors — the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in the United States and the economic slump worldwide.

According to PhilPost director Love Joy Matias, the postcard, which was mailed from Kansas City, Missouri, was dated Oct. 4, and arrived on the same week that a package for Abu Sayyaf spokesman Abu Sabaya was intercepted by postal employees.
