It's Dr. Jose Rizal's Birthday!


Today is the Philippines' national hero's birthday, Happy birthday Dr. Jose Rizal! 

In my own little way, I always make it a point to pay tribute to this great Filipino through my stamps. Through Cebu Stamp Club, exhibits were held in different venues here in Cebu featuring my Rizal and Rizaliana philatelic collections.

Featured above is a replica of the Rizal monument I purchased from a local bookstore. I just placed two stamps featuring Jose Rizal that were issued during the American period in the Philippines.
