2023 Philippine Independence and
Nationhood – 125th Anniversary
“Kalayaan. Kinabukasan. Kasaysayan.”
(Freedom. Future. History).
On June 12, 2023, the
Philippines marked 125 years since Philippine Independence was
proclaimed in Kawit, Cavite.
Stamps
were issued with the theme “Kalayaan. Kinabukasan. Kasaysayan.”
(Freedom. Future. History.).
The se-tenant pair features two critical moments
in relation to this: the Sewing of the Philippine Flag of Marcela
Agoncillo, Lorenza Agoncillo, and Delfina Herbosa Natividad in Hong
Kong, and when Aguinaldo Proclaims Philippine Independence with the
very same flag proudly raised at the Aguinaldo residence (now the
Emilio Aguinaldo Shrine) during the Declaration of Philippine
Independence in Kawit, Cavite, on June 12, 1898.
