The Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) has released ASEAN Post commemorative stamps featuring the iconic Manila Central Post Office (MCPO) building to mark the Joint Issue of the General ASEAN Post Office 2024.

Ten countries in the ASEAN Postal Region introduced the façades of their main post office buildings to symbolize unity, integration and cooperation from among the member states.

“Built in 1926, the Manila Central Post Office Building is one of the Philippine capital’s most recognizable landmarks. It is the beacon of hope to represent the country in the ASEAN Region,” PHLPost Chair and Postmaster General Mike Planas said in a news release Sunday.

The stamp is being issued to promote Philippine history and culture among ASEAN nations Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

Unfortunately, fire gutted the MCPO in May 2023. Its reconstruction is eyed for 2026, in time for its 100th anniversary. (PNA)
