THE Philippine Postal Corp. (PHLPost) will release the ASEAN Post commemorative stamps featuring the iconic Manila Central Post Office Building in Manila to mark the joint issue of the General ASEAN Post Office 2024.

PHLPost Chairman and Postmaster General Mike Planas announced that the stamp features the General Post Office building as the theme for 2024.

Ten countries in the ASEAN Postal Region have introduced each of the façade of their main post office building which symbolizes unity, integration and cooperation from among the ASEAN Post member states.

“Built in 1926, the Manila Central Post Office building is one of the Philippine’s most recognizable landmarks. It is the beacon of hope to represent the country in the ASEAN Region,” Planas said.

The stamp is being issued with a view to promote Philippine history and culture among neighboring countries. It also aims to foster closer relations and cooperation among ASEAN members.

The ASEAN Postal Business Meeting represents a significant milestone in fostering stronger collaborations and advancing the postal networks within the ASEAN.
