Cebu Stamp Club's March 2010 Stamp Meetup

The March 07, 2010 stamp meetup of Cebu Stamp Club took on a new twist as everyone agreed to hold the meeting in Eyan Yu's house in Talamban, Cebu City.

The group composed of yours truly, Dinah Potolin, Richard Guimbarda, Janice Benolerao, Janus BariƱan and Sharee Ann Trapa who came with a friend decided to converge infront of National Bookstore at the Ayala Center Cebu Mall at 1:30 PM. Once everyone arrived we all proceeded to Eyan's residence.

Eyan warmly greeted us and wasted no time in taking us on a tour of his house. He proudly showed his prized collections of stamps, coins, toys, models and antiques which amazed everyone. Polky, Eyan's son became the official photographer of the day.

The meetup was a very productive one with lots of sharings and free stamps for everyone. It was also decided that next meetup will be at the club president's residence on the third Sunday of April.

After the meeting, the host treated us with a delicious serving of Bam-i, a local type of noodles which he cooked himself along with some pastries and Coca Cola. Of course, we took out the Dunkin' Donuts, sandwiches, and chicharon that we brought.

Cebu Stamp Club, Incorporated's regular stamp meetup has strengthened our friendship with each while increasing our passion for philately.

A Visit to a Fellow Stamp Collector

It is a rare occasion to get invited to a house of a stamp collector and see all his beautiful collections. Yesterday was one of those times.

Together with Edmund Gruenbaum, Cebu Stamp Club's official representative to Germany and Europe, we went to Cebu Stamp Club Board of Trustee Eyan Yu's house in Talamban, Cebu City to see his treasures.

Eyan Yu gave us an extra-ordinary treat to view his various collections of stamps, coins, die cast cars, model airplanes and choppers.

It was a very interactive morning as he talked about his collections, how he acquired them and what his expensive collections are.

A few hours after the interesting conversations on stamps and coins, it was time for us to leave. Of course, we didn't go home empty handed. Eyan gave me some U.S. stamps to add to my American Presidents on stamps collection. He also gave both of us a copy of the Kenmore Collectors Catalog 2009 Edition.
