another Chrisquapipex cover

Here's a Chrisquapipex cover cancelled at the postal station specially set up at the show's venue.

The Christianization Quatercentennial Philippine International Philatelic Exhibition was held at Manila from December 6 to 12, 1965.

As noted on the lower left, the Asociacion Filatelica de Filipinas was a philatelic agent for United Nations postal issues.

The AFF also printed a souvenir sheet for Chrisquapipex.

Philpex 83 cover

A combination first day cover for Philatelic Week 1993 and show cover for Philpex '93, the Philippine Philatelic Exhibition held at the Manila Central Post Office from Nov. 22 to 27, 1993.

It says Philpex '93 was an exhibit of the International Philippine Philatelic Society in cooperation with the Philpost, United Nations Postal Administration, Cebu Philatelic Society, Quezon City Philatelic Society and Young Philatelists' Society.

Looks like the signature is that of Edison G. Cornejo of the YPS. There's an EGC beside the IPPS logo at left so he must have designed this show cover.

Springpex 91

Here is a Springpex '91 show cover signed by Juan Co (president of Filipino-Chinese Philatelic Society), Wilson Te (president of Chinese Philatelists), and Carlos Inductivo (president of the Philippine Philatelic Auction Club).

According to a pencilled notation on the back, there are only four such covers signed by all three presidents.

The exhibit was held at Manila from February 2 to 8, 1991.

Youngpex 93 cover

Here's a show cover of Youngpex '93, the exhibit mounted by the Young Philatelists' Society for its 7th anniversary.

The show was held at the Manila Central Post Office from February 22 to 28, 1993.

Nathypex

Here's a show cover for Nathypex '95, the 3rd National Thematics and Youth Philatelic Exhibition hosted by the Cebu Philatelic Society, a member club of the Philippine Philatelic Federation.

The exhibit was held at Cebu City from July 24 to 28, 1995.

"Philately: A Window of the Past and the Future" -- do you agree?

Amitypex 85 FDC

Here's a first day cover for the 10th Anniversary of Philippine-China Diplomatic Relations issue of 1985.

According to the Amitypex '85 show cancel, the exhibit was held from June 8 to 17, but other sources say June 9 to 16.

The initial overprinting of the 1981 souvenir sheets had no apostrophes on the inscription PEOPLE'S, so these were added later by hand. Succeeding overprints have apostrophes.

Youngpex 92

A show cover for Youngpex '92, a stamp exhibit mounted by the Young Philatelists' Society for its 6th year anniversary celebration.

This one was for the show held at the Mapua Institute of Technology from February 24 to 26.

Another Youngpex '92 was held at the University of Santo Tomas from February 12 to 14.

Scoutpex

There is actually an issue for Scoutpex '79. These are overprints on the 1959 6c+4c value of the 10th World Boy Scout Jamboree stamp and the souvenir sheet of 5.

On the covers shown here, however, the 1977 National Boy Scout Jamboree stamp is used.

Scoutpex '79, the 1st Scout Philatelic Exhibition, was held at Quezon City from July 4 to 14 in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the first national jamboree held at Quezon City in 1954.

Cebu exhibit

These show covers for the Cebu Provincial Jamborette Philatelic Exhibition are cancelled in five places: the Exhibition Hall, Mandaue City, Toledo City, Lapu Lapu City, and Danao City.

All are signed by one person (who?).

The event was held on November 5-8, 1986.

What was the Cebu City Collectors Club?

CEPEX '87

A signed cover for CEPEX '87 held at the USIS Lincoln Center in Cebu City.

Are the signatures that of officials of the United States Information Service?

CEPEX was an annual exhibit of the Cebu Philatelic Society held every November. 

Anyone knows if it still is a current activity of the club?

Lasallephex

Lasallephex '83 was held from March 3 to 5 at Bacolod City.

There was a Bacolod City Philatelic Club formed in 1982.

Was there a school stamp club at La Salle Bacolod?

Whose philatelic exhibition was this?

AEROPEX '77

AEROPEX '77, a philatelic exhibition for aerophilately held from October 24 to 29 at Quezon City, was sponsored by the International Philippine Philatelic Society and co-sponsored by the Thomas Jefferson Cultural Center and the Pan American Airways.

A postal station was set up during the exhibit. The show cover is pictured here.

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.

V-PEX

V-PEX, the Victory Philatelic Exhibition, was held at Manila from October 20 to 22, 1945.

Yes, sir, philately was alive before, during and after the Second World War.

This exhibit, reported to be the first after the Japanese occupation, was held by the Philippine Philatelic Club to commemorate the first anniversary of the Leyte D-Day, the landing of American troops on that island.

The postal card and cover shown above were cancelled on October 20, 1945, the first day of the exhibition, which was held at the Arias Building. Both also have the official commemorative cachet handstamped in black.

These are not difficult to find, even after 70 years!
