Should be worth a visit.

EFO 1964 semipostal

This color shift is not listed in the IPPS EFO catalog.

Red is shifted to the right.

This was my EFO discovery last August 6.

Now, there's got to be a red shifted to the left variety. Somewhere. Just keep on searching!

This was used at the Paseo del Mar for parking on February 13, 2013.

Official Cash Ticket: Surigao del Sur

Found this horizontal strip of 5 in a public utility van, which I rode from Hayanggabon in Claver (Surigao del Norte) to Bad-as in Placer (Surigao del Norte). The van must have come from Carrascal (Surigao del Sur) as written on the back with the date Oct. 10, 2010.

FSCC auction August 2016

A total of 533 lots for philatelists, numismatists and other collectors was listed.

Here's something to look forward to from my conversation with Dojie Latura, who was there that afternoon: he's completing a reference book on the postal history of Philippine railway post offices!

With the issuance of Official Cash Tickets by local government units (don't know when, probably early 2000s), a revenue philatelist who attempts to catalog all issues would be challenged.

Duterte inauguration

New Issue alert:

PRESS RELEASE: PHLPost issues President Duterte inauguration stamps

August 18, 2016   Posted By: Corp.Comm

The Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) recently issued a special commemorative stamps featuring the historic inauguration and oathtaking of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte who took his oath as the 16th President of the Republic of the Philippines held at the Rizal Ceremonial Hall in Malacañang Palace in Manila at exactly high noon (12:00 NN) last June 30, 2016.

He is the fourth chief executive of the country and the first from Mindanao who took oath in Malacañang Palace.

“Inaugural Stamps” were issued by PHLPost in keeping with the tradition that when there is a new president, the postal service would come out with a new commemorative stamp to highlight the importance of this historic event in the country.

The “Inaugural Stamps” features the official photo of the oathtaking ceremony administered by Supreme Court Associate Justice Bienvenido Reyes. Duterte is joined by his children Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte, Davao City Vice Mayor Paolo Duterte, Sebastian and Veronica Duterte, who holds the Bible given to the President by his late mother Soledad.

PHLPost has printed 150,000 pieces of the “Inaugural Stamps” sold at P17.00 each in post offices nationwide.

The postal service also printed 10,000 copies of the special limited edition of the souvenir sheet measuring 10 cm x 4.5 cm and sold at P55.00 each.

Also, the stamps comes with a commemorative first day cover envelope featuring the Philippine Flag, the official seal of the President with Malacañang Palace, at the background, which is the seat of the highest chief executive of the land.

For inquiries about the stamps, please call 527-01-08 or 527-01-32.

Official Cash Tickets

rouletted

imperforate

rouletted, poorly printed

rouletted, poorly printed

Official Cash Tickets have been in use since the 1930s and are kept by collectors of revenue stamps.

These were used as governmental receipts for payments in small denominations (for a variety of purposes, usually in public places).

The P1 red was used at the Cagayan de Oro Port on January 31, 2002.

bundleware

Yes, sir, even today one can still find bundleware of Philippine stamps!

clipper vinta

Finally, an airmail issue with a design of its own, rather than overprints.

Issued in 1941, the two main subjects are a clipper and a vinta.

These were the last airmail stamps released before the Japanese occupation.
