Zip Code Makati: Complete List by Barangay

What Is the Zip Code for Makati?

The main zip code for Makati is 1200. That is the code for the Makati Central Post Office, and it is the code people usually mean when they ask for the zip code of Makati without naming a barangay.

But 1200 is only the starting point. PHLPost gives Makati 30 codes in the range 1200 to 1235, and the right one depends on the barangay or village in the address. A parcel to Bel-Air uses 1209, a delivery to Greenbelt uses 1228, and a letter to Magallanes Village uses 1232. Using 1200 for all of them will still reach Makati, but a wrong local code is one of the small mistakes that delay parcels.

Two things make Makati different. Some villages are split: Forbes Park has a north code, 1219, and a south code, 1220, and Dasmarinas Village is split the same way, 1221 and 1222. And the list changed in 2024, when ten barangays known as EMBO left Makati, as the next section explains.

The Full List of Makati Zip Codes by Area

Every code in this table comes from the PHLPost Zip Code Locator directory, the official list published by the Philippine Postal Corporation at phlpost.gov.ph. The directory lists each locality with its code, and this table keeps those pairings exactly as PHLPost lists them. One label is shortened here because the directory shortens it: the entry that reads "Makati CPO (Inc, Buendia Up To" is printed as "Makati CPO".

You will notice the gap in the numbers. There is no 1201 in the PHLPost directory, and the codes 1214 to 1218 are missing from this table on purpose. They used to be Makati codes, and the next section explains where they went.

The EMBO Barangays: New Zip Codes Since 2024

In February 2024, PHLPost gave new zip codes to ten barangays in the EMBO area, the cluster of villages along the Fort Bonifacio side of Makati. The barangays had been transferred from Makati to Taguig after a Supreme Court decision on the boundary between the two cities.

The change came in PHLPost All Office Message No. 24-02-P, dated February 13, 2024, signed by Acting Postmaster General Luis D. Carlos, and it took effect immediately. The ten barangays and their new Taguig codes are:

The old Makati codes no longer apply: 1214 for Cembo, 1215 for Rembo West, 1216 for Rembo East and Malapad Na Bato, 1217 for Comembo, and 1218 for Pembo. If an old ID or bill still shows one of those numbers for an EMBO address, update it to the new 1640 to 1649 code before you send anything.

One barangay stayed behind. Pinagkaisahan, which shared the old 1213 entry with Pitogo, remains in Makati under 1213, while Pitogo itself moved to Taguig and now uses 1646.

Bonifacio Global City, or BGC, is also in Taguig, not Makati, and it has no Makati zip code. Do not give a BGC address a Makati code.

How to Find and Check Your Barangay Code

Start with the table above and match the barangay in your address. If you know the area but not the barangay name, these are the codes people search for most:

• Ayala Avenue and the Paseo de Roxas area: 1226. This is the code for the office towers along Ayala Avenue.
• Bel-Air Village: 1209.
• San Lorenzo Village: 1223.
• Salcedo Village: 1227.
• Legaspi Village: 1229.
• Greenbelt and the malls around it: 1228.
• Forbes Park: 1219 for the north side and 1220 for the south side.
• Dasmarinas Village: 1221 for the north side and 1222 for the south side.
• Magallanes Village: 1232.
• Poblacion: 1210.
• Guadalupe Viejo: 1211 and Guadalupe Nuevo: 1212.
• Bangkal: 1233, San Isidro: 1234, and Palanan: 1235.

If your barangay is not in the table, do not guess a code from the pattern. Look at a recent utility bill or a piece of mail that reached the address, because the code printed there is usually right. You can also check the official PHLPost Zip Code Locator at phlpost.gov.ph/zip-code-locator/ and search by locality name.

One honest note about that tool: the table on the live site currently shows only a small part of the full directory when you browse it, listing only Pandacan, 1011, for Metro Manila, and it does not show the Makati rows at all. The codes above were checked against the full directory behind it. If the finder search does not return your barangay, confirm the code at a post office counter instead of replacing it with a guess from another website.

How Philippine Zip Codes Work

A Philippine zip code has four digits, and PHLPost, the Philippine Postal Corporation, is the body that assigns them. The code is not required by law, but PHLPost strongly recommends using it, because it tells sorting offices which town or which part of a city a letter or parcel belongs to.

The first digit gives the broad area. Codes starting with 1 belong to Metro Manila, 2 and 3 to northern and central Luzon, 4 and 5 to southern Luzon and Bicol, 6 to the Visayas, and 7, 8 and 9 to Mindanao. That is why every Makati code starts with 1, and why Cebu City uses 6000 and Davao City uses 8000.

Inside Metro Manila, a code usually stands for a barangay or a small group of barangays, which is why one city can have dozens of codes. Outside Metro Manila, a code usually stands for a whole town or city.

PHLPost has said it plans a longer seven character alphanumeric ZIP Code PH in the future, announced by the Postmaster General in early 2024. As of November 2026 the official locator still shows the four digit codes, and those are the codes to use on parcels today.

How to Write the Zip Code on an LBC Parcel

The zip code goes on the last line of the address, right before the city name. PHLPost gives this exact order in its own guide. A Makati address for an LBC parcel looks like this:

Maria Santos
Unit 5B, Tower 2, 123 Paseo de Roxas, Barangay San Lorenzo
Makati City, Metro Manila 1223
Mobile 0917 123 4567

The names and numbers above are a sample only, to show the shape. Write the barangay in full, because street names repeat across barangays, and write the code as four digits with no spaces or dashes.

Common Mistakes With Makati Zip Codes

The most common mistake is using 1200 for the whole city. It is not the code for Bel-Air, San Lorenzo, Salcedo or Legaspi, and it can slow a delivery down while the parcel is sorted again inside the city.

The second mistake is using an old EMBO code. A parcel to Cembo with 1214, or to Pembo with 1218, carries a code that has not been a Makati code since February 2024. Use the new Taguig codes, 1640 to 1649.

The third mistake is mixing up the villages. Salcedo Village is 1227 and Legaspi Village is 1229, and they sit next to each other. San Lorenzo Village is 1223, while the Ayala Avenue and Paseo de Roxas office area is 1226. Check the barangay on the address rather than the street.

The fourth mistake is giving a Taguig address a Makati code. Bonifacio Global City and the EMBO barangays are in Taguig now. A BGC or EMBO address with a 12xx code is addressed to the wrong city, even if the post office figures it out in the end.

The fifth mistake is leaving the code off a form that asks for it. Online shops, banks and government forms often need the code to match the address.
