Think It Over #1
Rizal Martyrdom postal card with what looks like a newspaper clipping of Think It Over by H. M. Stansifer saying "The happiest people are generally busy helping others". Also has a cut-out of the Cebu provincial seal.
On its reverse is a printed consignment form of the Manila Steamship Company, which ceased shipping in 1955. As the slogan cancel is dated August 17, 1954, my guess is that this was an excess and never used, hence it no doubt was made into a souvenir by Pablo Esperidion, the well-known philatelist of that company.

Aviso
This Rizal postal card was sent in 1926.
The printed message on the back is in Spanish, a notice from the secretary of Casino Español in Manila. It says that the Dia de Santiago will be celebrated on July 25 at 5:30 in the afternoon after a merienda and baile in the salones of the building.
According to Wikipedia, the Casino Español de Manila "was a club established in 1893 by Spaniards living in the Philippines as their exclusive venue for recreational and social activities. It later opened its doors to Filipino members to foster Spanish-Filipino ties in the country."
Dia de Santiago is the annual Feast of Saint James, one of the first disciples of Jesus, who is believed to be buried in the Santiago de Compostela, a cathedral in Spain.

AFF 30th anniversary
The 30th anniversary of the Asociacion Filatelica de Filipinas is what this slogan cancel on a postal card commemorates.
AFF was organized on May 10, 1925, by Don Joaquin Ortiz, who edited the first philatelic magazine in the Philippines, Revista Filatelica Filipinas, which became the official organ of this club.
Many of its members were Spanish-speaking.

CAFEA-ICC slogan
A slogan cancel for the 7th session of the Commission on Asian and Far Eastern Affairs of the International Chamber of Commerce called for "All out efforts to develop prosperity".
This conference was held at the Manila Hotel from July 23 to 26, 1958.
The slogan cancel was used from July 18 to 26, so the one shown here on an overprinted postal card was cancelled on its last day of use.

Health Wealth slogan
A slogan that will likely be true for all time has been used as a cancellation from August 16 to 25, 1954.
As there is a double cross illustrated before the lines "The People's Health is the Nation's Wealth" and the dates Aug. 19 to Sept. 30, 1954, this should be related to the Anti-Tuberculosis Drive for Funds conducted on the same dates and for which a slogan cancel was also used in Manila.

International Fair slogan
The slogan cancel on this postal card was used from January 1 to 31, 1953 and promoted the Philippines International Fair that was held at Manila from February 1 to April 30, 1953.
This event was reported to be the first World's Fair to be held in the Orient.
There also were a two-stamp set, a stamped envelope, and a label printed for this.
