EFO 1964 semipostal

Normal Copy

Red shifted upward

Red shifted downward

These EFOs were unrecorded in the IPPS EFO catalog.

1989 Philatelic Week

Filipinas Philatelic & Numismatic Center

The Filipinas Philatelic & Numismatic Center was a store on Recto Avenue in Manila City.

It was situated "in front of San Sebastian College" but also had a post office box address.

I was informed that this store was owned by Mr. Carlos Basa in the 1970s/80s.

Lasallephex

Lasallephex '83 was held from March 3 to 5 at Bacolod City.

Whose philatelic exhibition was this?
