I love stamps, history, writing and doing exhibits! It started in 1996 when I came up with one-man exhibits from my collections for Cebu Stamp Club in Ayala Center Cebu, SM City Cebu and other malls.
That same year, Stamplines began for the Freeman newspaper until 2001. The biggest exhibit I did was in 2013 at Fort San Pedro titled “Selyo ug Kasaysayan sa Fort” (Stamps and History at the Fort) which ended in 2015. ABS-CBN Cebu’s MagTV Na featured it in their Sunday show on June 8, 2014 and was included in Erwin de la Cerna’s coffee table book Fort San Pedro in 2016 and in Manila Bulletin in 2017.
Two years earlier in 2014, while the fort exhibit was ongoing, an idea came up to feature Philippine history everyday in Facebook using stamps and photos. Series 1 began on February 28, 2014 and the almost 500 story cards were completed before the year ended. Four years later, on March 2, 2018, Series 2 was posted with around 370 stories.
This is my humble contribution for love of country and the promotion of philately. Thanks to all the sponsors and those who supported us through the years. Hopefully this year, a new exhibit will be launched featuring the presidency. To God be the glory!
