In April of 2019, Philatel caught wind of a plan by [[Foreman-964]]'s [[Department of Construction]] to raze the West Wing of the Post Office (where he'd been keeping his stamp collection) to make way for a warehouse. When a mailbag containing the [[Department of Architecture]]'s blueprints for the new warehouse passed through his hands, he stole it and hid it in his office, hoping to halt the work. To evade suspicion, he put the [[Blue Feather]] on the case of looking for the missing mailbag, assuming that they would be too incompetent to trace it back to him. However, [[Acquaintanceship-982]] did manage to figure it out eventually. [[Larrikin-1029]] ambushed Philatel in his office and captured him in a [[burlap sack]], allowing the Blue Feather members to get a confession from him. Instead of them handing him over to the [[Department of Discipline]], he made a deal with them, allowing them to use the West Wing as a HQ from now on to replace their ratty old one, with them convincing the Department of Construction to demolish the former Blue Feather HQ in question instead of the West Wing.

([[COMIC]]: ''[[A Message from Philatel (comic story)|A Message from Philatel]]'')]]In the 2019 [[Christmas]] season, an irate Philatel had to record a public-service announcement to quell the influx of letters addressed to [[Santa Claus]], which the Depatment was in no position to deliver and which had piled high even after they were given a specific sorting crate.

Philatel was one of the Cupids who submitted a question to ''[[The Cupid Courier]]''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> educational Q&A about the [[Rift]]s with [[Doctor Sigma]]. However, Philatel, head of the Department of Postal Services, just used the opportunity to complain about his rival, [[Foreman-964]] of the Department of Construction, sarcastically asking if the noise created by a construction site could qualify as the kind of “major disturbances in the fabric of reality” which could sometimes trigger Rifts.
