ASSOCIATION OF SOUTHEAST ASIAN NATIONS
(ASEAN)
On August 8, 1967 the Association of
Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) was established. It was first
established with five members, namely, Indonesia, Malaysia,
Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. Then on January 8, 1984, Brunei
Darussalam joined, followed by Vietnam on July 28, 1995, Lao PDR and
Myanmar on July 23, 1997 and Cambodia on April 30, 1999.
The ten countries agreed to commemorate
the 40th anniversary by featuring ancient or modern architectural
structure from each country as the main subject or theme of the
joint stamp issue, with each member issuing the same set of ten
designs with its own country name and face value.
The Philippine Postal Corporation chose
the Malacanang Palace for this joint stamp issue. Malacanang
Palace is the official residence of the President of the Philippines
and is considered to be one of the most historic structures in the
Philippines.
