Welcome to all!
In this modern age of technology, how else do you promote something
you are passionate about that will reach the most number of people?
Creating a website!
Thus, the birth of
www.philippinestamps.net
This website is dedicated to the promotion of Philippine Philately,
in particular, REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES, which covers the
period of 1946 to the present.
New stamps and other philatelic items will be covered, giving
details as to first day of issues, values, printers, paper types,
perforations. Information as to the designers and artists involved from
the time of conception to completion will be included. There will
also be a short write-up about the issue – who or what is being
honored and other vital information we deemed important.
Along with stamps, other aspect of Philately will be covered:
There will be a special section we call Library which will feature
interesting and helpful articles.
One of my favorite periods of Philippine Philately is the one right
before the Republic. The period of 1942 to 1946, or, the World War II
era. As a side collecting interest, we will feature issues of the
Japanese Occupation and the Liberation/Victory issues.
In our hopes to give you the best and most comprehensive coverage,
we have engaged the help of our friends who are known in their fields
of expertise. We will be joined by no other than the well known
Philatelic Specialist on the Republic,
Dr. Ngo Tiong
Tak. We will also be joined by the undisputed Father of
Philippine Christmas Seals, Nemy L. Rivera.
I hope you will find this website interesting and helpful. New
issues will be published as soon as they are announced by the Post
Office. Updates
to the website will be made as often as we can indicating
what they are.
So, welcome and we hope you visit often.
