Visit the Philippines Year 2015 gets stamp of approval from PHLPost

The postcard-worthy events under Tourism Promotions Board (TPB)’s year-long campaign “Visit the Philippines Year (VPY) 2015” get a stamp of approval, literally, with the Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost)’s VPY 2015 commemorative stamps.

PHLPost has rolled out the stamps to help highlight the campaign aimed at encouraging local and foreign tourists to participate in various activities and events in the country. It will circulate about 39,000 copies of these VPY 2015 stamps, featuring the campaign logo designed by BBDO Guerrero Philippines.

According to TBP COO Domingo Ramon Enerio III, “Stamps are a symbol of connection between family and friends, sharing their experiences as they make their way towards different paths. With the beautiful places they visit, new faces they meet, colorful festivals and events they experience, these stamps bind people together with archives of stories that make visiting the Philippines more fun,”

The stamp, measuring 25 mm x 50 mm, is sold at P10 each. The stamps and souvenir sheet are now available at all PHLPost post shops in the country.

Royal Heritage Tour and Intramuros Pasyal!

It was another time of the month for a trip down old Manila and experience it from different angles, and I never get tired of joining them. Last year I was part of the Royal Heritage Tour in January 2013, now after the busy schedules and hell weeks, I got the chance to join the FREE tour conducted by Rence Chan (http://renz15.wordpress.com/), who loves collection (especially stamps) and Philippine heritage. 

The Royal Heritage Tour is conducted every 3rd Sunday of the month with attendees comprising of history lovers, bloggers, students, and even professionals who are into exploring Manila at its roots and its famed places. The tour itinerary would comprise of the Post Office Building in Lawton, The Maestranza (The Royal Warehouses), Pasig Riverside, Intramuros and finally the Manila Metropolitan Theater.
