philatelic directory

The Philippine Philatelic Club must have sent out to collectors in 1945 (or 1946?) postal cards like the one shown here for its Philatelic Directory of the Philippines.
Was it planning to propose a Bureau of Philately back then?

FSCC auction March 2018

Pictured here is the back page of the November-December 2017 edition of Courier, official publication of the Philippine Postal Corporation.

Copies of this Courier were given out to attendees of today's auction sale of the Filipinas Stamp Collectors' Club held at Manila.

About 30 bidders participated in the sale featuring over 500 philatelic and nonphilatelic lots. The former included a neat album of 164 pieces of Republic first day covers of the period 2001-10.

Philippine Philatelic Federation president Rey Ong and Philippine Philatelic Journal editor Hans Becker were around for about an hour before the auction began. Both joined a meeting later with postal officials. Something must be in the works!

Way back in the mid – sixties , out of an urgent need to liberate a group of parents from the clutches of
loan sharks and to give them and their children a chance for a more dignified living condition gave birth to the DCCCO. Seeing the painful and dehumanizing effects of poverty and exploitation, Mother M. Marcella Foret, O’ Carm, the school directress felt that the need for a drastic solution of the problems should come from within, from the parents themselves, and not from the outside. She believed that they alone can help themselves through the pooling of resources, trust, cooperation, and service and thus she introduced the concept of a cooperative.
DCCCO was organized on February 17, 1968 with an initial capital of P1,181.50 contributed by forty-nine (49) parents and teachers of DCC. Finding the cooperative’s services of savings and loans beneficial and liberating, opted to open membership to the larger community. This resulted in the accumulation of more capital and extension of bigger loans and more services. Loans were no longer limited just for educational purposes but also for productive purposes.
From small beginnings, the DCCCO expanded successfully into a community-based cooperative. In its 36 years of service, membership increased from 49 to 13,363 in 2004. The General Assembly approved the purchased of a lot and erection of a 3-storey building. And in making a dream a reality, on July 27, 2002, a new and imposing DCCCO building was blessed by Bishop John H. Du.
Today, in its 50th year, DCCCO stands as a landmark of Christ-centered service, cooperation, integrity, and trust. It will keep on fulfilling the dream of the innovators particularly Mother Marcella, Bishop Epifanio B. Surban, Governor Mariano F. Perdices, and the officers, staff and members by remembering the past with gratitude, living the present with sincerity and shaping the future with prudence and faith.

APO auction March 2018

Got 10 se-tenant blocks of four of the 1978 Sipa issue from yesterday's auction sale of the APO Philatelic Society held at Manila.
Sold for only 52 pesos, it was a steal! The fun part will be a search for errors, freaks and oddities. So, stay tuned in the coming days.
Some 30 collectors were in attendance. There were several exciting box lots but these were all foreign material, nothing Philippines.
More than 500 lots were listed, so there must have been something for everyone.
