DAVPEX '83 souvenir cards

These were the DAVPEX '83 souvenir cards, printed on one side and cancelled on the other, in blue and green.

I believe 1,000 of each color were printed, but I don't know how many were cancelled with a stamp.

DAVPEX '83 show covers

Here's the DAVPEX '83 show cover.

There's a couple of interesting details about this:

1. The canceller from the post office states "Davao Philatelic Club" although the club's name was "Davao Stamp Collectors". Not long after, however, the club did change its name to Davao Philatelic Club!

2. The name of the exhibition is misspelled on the cachet: DAVAPHEX instead of DAVPEX. I believe the printed envelopes came from the Manila post office as there's a similarly-designed cachet for LASALLEPHEX held some 10 days earlier in Bacolod City.

The stamps are denominated 40-sentimo, the postal rate for domestic mail at that time.

Souvenirs of DAVPEX '87.

Got these during a visit to Davao City in 1987 -- too late, unfortunately.

Had I been around that time the souvenir folder would have contained the Davao City commemorative stamp postmarked on its first day of issue. As it is there is no stamp -- just a souvenir.

Interestingly, it appears to me the Davao Stamp Collectors changed its name to Davao Philatelic Club.

The UM of UM Philatelic Club stands for the University of Mindanao.
