PHLPost’s Christmas Stamps Feature Artworks of Children with Cancer

This Christmas season, the Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) released its new Christmas stamps dubbed “Pasko 2017” featuring artworks of children with cancer and other chronic illnesses.

The special Christmas stamp is in partnership with the Kythe Foundation, Inc. who has been supporting these children for over two decades.

“We would like to highlight on this issuance on what Christmas is all about in the eyes of the children especially those who have been suffering with the big C and other chronic illness,” Postmaster General Joel L. Otarra said.

PHLPost has printed some 80,000 copies of the “Pasko 2017” stamp, which costs P12 each and the souvenir sheet at P55 each. The special Christmas stamps are now available at the Manila Central Post Office and in postal areas. (PHLPOST/RJB/JEG/PIA-NCR)
