Quezon 75th Birthday slogan

In August 19, 1953 Manuel L. Quezon would have been 75 years old, but the Commonwealth president had died in 1944.
His 75th birthday anniversary, however, was commemorated by the Manila Lions Club and a slogan cancel was used by the post office from August 1 to 19, 1953.
Interestingly, Quezon died on August 1.

Fund Campaign slogan

The slogan cancel on this postal card was used from February 15 to March 15, 1952, so this example was struck on the last day of use.
It called for donations to the 1952 Fund Campaign of the Philippine National Red Cross, the fifth annual such campaign originally scheduled for February 15 to March 14 but was extended to April 15 because the PNRC needed "additional time to carry out its campaign successfully".

FSCC auction August 2018

More than 30 bidders participated in today's auction of the Filipinas Stamp Collectors' Club held at Manila.

Some 500 philatelic and nonphilatelic lots were offered, less than the 521 listed as one of the consignors was not able to attend.

There were two bourse tables, one for philatelists and the other for numismatists.

Philippine Philatelic Federation president Rey Ong dropped by before the sale began but there was no announcement from him this time.
