The Manila Central Post Office located at Liwasang Bonifacio, is a Neo-Classical style building designed by Architect Juan Marcos de Guzman Arellano in 1926. It was destroyed during World War II and rebuilt in 1946, after the war.
The Postman statue in front of the Main Post Office was conceived during the incumbency of Postmaster General Felizardo R. Tanabe with the recommendation of the former Postmaster of the Manila Central Post Office, Reynaldo R. Martinez as the symbol of the Philippine Postal Service. It was constructed on September 15, 1975 to coincide with the 73rd anniversary of the establishment of the Bureau of Posts under the American regime but the inauguration was deferred indefinitely for the past 25 years.
