Welcome to my blog and website dedicated to Philippines philately and numismatics. You will find historical information on the people and events that shaped the Philippines. There are general articles for the avid stamp or coin collector and regular blog posts. Fellow collectors can keep up with my ever expanding personal collection of Philippines stamps, coins, banknote and much more.
The goal of this site is simple – to use philately and numismatics to educate and inform. It is also my way of cataloging and sharing my personal collection with others. The country has witnessed a lot of turmoil and change over a relatively short span of time and this can be see first hand through the currency and postal changes that have also taken place. This is just one reason that sparked my interest in Philippine stamps and coins, you can read on if you want to know what else inspired me to focus my collecting efforts on the Philippines.
Don’t forget to also take a look at my Philippine stamps for sale (see active listings). As an active collector I am always clearing out duplicate material – so you can buy Philippine stamps below catalog value.
