Philippine Stamps of 1947 - Phil-Philately

Formats released this year:

Format Released	Qty
TOTAL:	27

1947 starts with a series of 7 stamps depicting places of Interest in the Philippines – the Rizal Monument, Bonifacio Monument, Jones Bridge, Santa-Lucia Gate, the Mayon Volcano and Palm Avenue (in both green and purple). There is an interesting error on the Santa-Lucia gate stamp of this set which you can read about in this blog post. The full set was released over a period of almost 5 months. 1947 also saw President Manuel Roxas take the Oath of Office, commemorated on a postage stamp and also on the only souvenir sheet to be released in this year. Manuel Quezon also makes an appearance alongside of Franklin D. Roosevelt on a set of 3x airmail stamps. To round out the year is a nice set of postage due stamps and a single special delivery stamp.
