Imperforate, measuring 127 x 177mm, printed locally by photogravure on unwatermarked paper and issued without gum, it was sold at the post office for P2.50. Printing quantity: 100,000.
Interestingly, the triangular cancel at right, which was also applied on first day covers of the Kalayaan issue, has KALAYAAN NG PILIPINAS whereas the stamps have KALAYAAN NANG PILIPINAS. Yes nowadays we would write NG before a noun, and NANG before a verb or adjective, but long before NG came about there was only NANG for a noun, verb or adjective.
