The 1943 Underwood typewriter, once used in the Sigma Post Office, is a sturdy metal machine bought from Iloilo City and brought to Sigma by train. It played an important role in helping the community reconnect after World War II, especially when the post office reopened in 1945. Belonging to Mr. De Alba, the postmaster, it was used for writing letters, reports, and official documents, making it a key tool in local communication and public service. The typewriter shows signs of aging, such as rust and fading, but is still preserved in good condition.
