Philippine Republic issues by:

Philatelic
Specialist - Republic of the Philippines
Due to the
improvement in the designs and quality of Philippine stamps in the
last few years, with many topical issues and attractive souvenir
sheets, more and more collectors are taking notice of Philippine new
issues. With the huge stocks of old issues in the vaults
finally disposed of, and the printing of only 20,000 to 30,000 stamps and
5,000 to 8,000 souvenir sheets, Republic stamps
are finally getting the serious attention of collectors. After
the philatelic sales period of one year for all commemorative and
special issues, all unsold stocks are sent all over the country for
postage use. So, without the threat of the Post Office' stocks
of old issues being sold at face value looming over the philatelic
market, collectors should fill up the empty spaces in their albums
as soon as possible before everyone realizes how scarce many of the
issues of the last 20 years are. (Dr. Ngo Tiong Tak)
