The first special delivery stamp of the Republic era was issued on December 22, 1947. It shows a letter carrier on a bicycle leaving the Manila post office, presumably to deliver special delivery mail, and I would say only to addresses in Manila (and probably Rizal City) kasi nakabisikleta lang.
It also is the last issue for 1947. Catalogs say the color is rose lilac, with shades of the color.
