New Issue alert:

PRESS RELEASE: PHLPost releases CCP golden anniversary stamps

The Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) releases new commemorative stamps to celebrate the 50th year anniversary of the establishment of Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) in the country.
September 8, 1969 marked the Cultural Center of the Philippines’ official inauguration. Since then, it has been the home to many gems of Philippine art. The CCP has housed acclaimed productions in music, theater and dance, iconic works of art, great artists, and irreplaceable resources on Philippine culture and history.
The Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) is considered as the national center for the arts. It has launched initiatives showcasing excellent art forms, the bolstering of art education and art appreciation.
Throughout its 50 years of existence, the CCP has stimulated the creation of artistic content now considered as pillars of Philippine art. Its programs include Production and Exhibition, Arts Education, Outreach and Exchange and Culture Content Development.
PHLPost has printed 30,000 copies of the commemorative stamp which are being sold at P12 each. Graphic Artist Irma Jane C. Junio designed the stamps featuring the digital rendition of the iconic façade and fountain of the CCP.
The stamp and official first day covers of the commemorative 50th anniversary of CCP are now available at the Philatelic Counter, Manila and Metro Manila Post Offices.
