The Japanese wartime propaganda machine was in full motion with some stamps declaring “Independence of the Philippines” (from Western domination). The Philippines’ very first souvenir sheet (PH NB4) was released in 1942, commemorating “Philippine Independence”. Collectors can get this souvenir sheet with or without the first day cancellation as pictured below. Expect copies without the cancellation to be a little harder to get though. Some souvenir sheets were sold in a special cover which had the Philippine flag on the front, a very crude map of Asia on the back and information about the stamps on the inside cover. The special cover was basically a folded piece of printed paper which contained a loose souvenir sheet inside of it.
A second souvenir sheet was also printed in 1943 but was never released to the public. Most copies of this souvenir sheet were destroyed near the end of the war due to a fire in the Manila Central Post Office. Around 100 undamaged copies are rumored to exist – you can read more about it here.
PH N7 (blue Montalban Gorge) is the scarcest of the stamps from this series. Only 20,000 were printed and MNH stamps often sell for over $100USD each.
PH N6b Orange Barasoain Chruch came in two flavors (N6 and N6b). Type b has a triangle in the center of the letter “A” in “CENTAVOS” while type a has a small circle. This distinction is usually visible with the naked eye.
