Found this first day cover in a group of Philippine commercial covers I got from today's auction of the Filipinas Stamp Collectors' Club held at Manila.
Scoutpex '79, the 1st Scout Philatelic Exhibition held at Quezon City from July 4 to 14, 1979, was in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the first national jamboree held at Quezon City in 1954.
Before the sale began, Philippine Philatelic Federation president Rey Ong announced the holding of a stamp exhibit next month on the theme Women Empowerment. Should be interesting what collectors will show!
Some 20 bidders participated and a little less than 530 philatelic and nonphilatelic lots were offered.
Seen during the activity was Philippine Philatelic Journal editor Hans Becker.
