President Benigno S. Aquino III Stamps

Finally it's going to be out in two days! The President Benigno S. Aquino III stamps will be released on July 26, 2010 by the Philippine Postal Corporation (Philpost).

The stamps are valued at P 7.00 and P 40.00 and relive President Aquino's historical inaugural speech and oathtaking last June 30, 2010 at the Quirino Grandstand at the Rizal Park.

The issuance of the stamps coincides with the first State of the Nation address of the Philippine President.

President Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III Takes His Oath Today

For the Philippines, today is a day of hope, a day of change and a day of unity.

The whole country watched as Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III takes his oath of office at exactly 12:00 noon as the 15th President of the Republic of the Philippines.

I am glad I voted for him. In spite of his shortcomings, I know that he will be a good president.

To President Noynoy, May God Bless you and this country!

Philpost To Issue Noynoy Stamp

It's all over the news today!

The Philippine Postal Corporation (Philpost) is set to issue a commemorative stamp featuring President-elect Benigno Simeon "Noynoy" Aquino III.

“It has been part of our tradition that when there is a new president, we would come out with a new stamp,” said Assistant Postmaster General Luis Carlos.

The stamp is set to be issued after the new president's oathtaking on June 30, 2010.

“There is a protocol that we have to follow. The pictures of Senator Aquino that would be used in the stamp would depend on the photos that would be provided by president-elect Aquino’s staff. As soon as we receive the pictures, we would process it immediately,” Carlos adds.

The Noynoy Aquino stamp will surely be a hit. I can't wait to have a complete set so I can add it to my Philippine Presidents on stamps collection and website.

Erap's 73rd Birthday

Former Philippine President Joseph "Erap" Ejercito Estrada celebrated his 73rd birthday yesterday April 19, 2010.

Erap's birthday wish is a "clean and victory for him and his party in the upcoming elections."

The Pwersa ng Masa standard bearer adds, "I have already been given everything that I asked for, including my renewed freedom. But my freedom is empty if I cannot use it for the greater good of the Filipino people, that is why I am running and I hope to be able to serve the people as president again."

Shown above is the November 10, 1998 stamp of President Joseph Estrada taking his oath as the 13th President of the Republic of the Philippines.

The Philippine Presidents on Stamps Website

As a collector of Philippine philately, one of my favorite topics is the Philippine Presidents on Stamps. I tried searching the net for such subject but got frustrated. It was then that I decided to make a unique website featuring the Philippine Presidency.

It was not an easy task. I see myself at work for days and nights. I had to scan my stamps one by one and come up with the necessary info. Weeks passed until I was satisfied with the concept and the design of the site I created.

Seeing the site published gives me a sense of fulfillment. It is another legacy I will share to those who collect Philippine stamps.

The Philippine Presidency on Stamps website is an interactive site that features the complete stamps of all the presidents of the Philippines. This includes their videos, biography, signature, flags, presidential seals and banners. All the stamps are from my years of collecting Philippine stamps.
