Cebu Stamp Club's Selyo ug Kasaysayan sa Fort (Stamps and History @ the Fort) Stamp and Photo Exhibit is a historical philatelic presentation featuring my collections.
Things to see in the exhibit are the portraits of Lapulapu, Cebu's first hero and Ferdinand Magellan, the Portuguese navigator who was killed by Lapulapu in the Battle of Mactan.
Images and stamps of Cebu's protector, the Sto. Nino de Cebu and Pedro Calungsod, the first saint of Cebu. The four Swiss guards earlier present in the John Paul II and the Pedro Calungsod exhibits are recommissioned to guard the images.
The Cebuano Philately Section composing of 6-ft panels feature blow-up images of the Sinulog stamp, the 2012 Pedro Calungsod Canonization stamp, the Magellan's Cross stamp, the First Philippine stamp, the Sto. Nino de Cebu stamp and the Lapulapu stamp.

These include the Pre-Spanish Period and the Coming of the Spaniards, the Spanish Period, the Propaganda Movement, the Philippine Revolution, the American Period, the Philippine Commonwealth, World War II, the Japanese Occupation, Guerrilla Movement, the End of World War II and the Granting of Philippine Independence.
