Making The Today In Philippine History (Philatelic Edition))

It was on February 28, 2014 when I started making the installments of Today in Philippine History (Philatelic Edition), a first-of-its kind way of sharing history every day using stamps. 

It involved research, design, lay-out, writing and choosing the right stamps and photos. Lots of research from different historical sources have to be done to make sure that the info I write are accurate as they can be. 

I have learned that the internet information from different sources do have discrepancies in dates and information. 

The next process is finding the right photos and the corresponding stamps in each article. It takes an hour for me to finish one installment while others may take as long as 2 hours and 3 at the most.. but I don't mind. 

Series 1 has 500 stories while Series 2 which was made starting March 2, 2018 has around 370 stories. 

This is my simple way of sharing our rich history and promoting the hobby of stamp collecting. 

Thanks to all who have been consistent in sharing and liking the articles.
