There are two purposes for the punched holes on Spanish-Philippines stamps: first was to cancel remainders (for destruction by the post office), and second was to cancel for telegraph use on receipts (either postage stamps or telegraph stamps were used). The punched holes used telegraphically are usually a smaller hole.
