Bontoc (or Ili ti Bontoc in Ilokano), officially the Municipality of Bontoc, is a 2nd class municipality and capital of the Mountain Province on the Island of Luzon in the northern Philippines. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 24,643 people.
Bontoc is the historical capital of the entire Cordillera region, since the inception of governance in the Cordillera. The municipality celebrates the annual Lang-ay Festival.
Bontoc is home to the Bontoc tribe, a feared war-like group of indigenous people who actively indulged in tribal wars with its neighbors until the 1930s. Every Bontoc male had to undergo a rites of passage into manhood, which may include head hunting, where the male has to journey (sometimes with companions) and hunt for a human head. The Bontocs also used the jaw of the hunted head as a handle for gongs, and as late as the early 1990s, evidence of this practice can be seen from one of the gongs in Pukisan, Bontoc. Information on the peoples of the Mountain Province can be gained at the terrific Bontoc Museum.

The Manila Central Post Office, often called the Post Office Building, is the main postal office of Manila, which also serves as the home of the Philippine Postal Corporation. It also houses the main mail sorting-distribution operations of the Philippines. It is located along the riverbanks in Lawton, Ermita and lies at the northern end of Liwasang Bonifacio. Its location along the frontage of the Pasig River was a part of the Burnham Plan of Manila for easy water transportation of mail. Its central location with converging avenues made the building readily accessible from all sides. The structure's main entrance faces the Liwasang Bonifacio.
The original building was designed by Juan M. Arellano and Tomás Mapúa in neoclassical style. The construction of the building began on 1926 under the supervision of the engineering firm Pedro Siochi and Company. However, it was severely damaged in World War II during the Battle of Manila and was subsequently rebuilt in 1946 while retaining most of its original design.
