Letters live on, so does print

For its 25th anniversary, DAILY TRIBUNE is once again making history, this time in collaboration with the Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost).

More than just a collector’s piece, the commemorative stamp offers a rare look into the evolving identity of a media organization that has remained fearless and unbiased since day one.

Following the success of the limited-edition double issue released from 30 June to 1 July, these stamps are the next chapter in a series of anniversary keepsakes. And here’s your exclusive sneak peek: the design carries DAILY TRIBUNE’s 25th year emblem and the ever-watchful eyes of its mascot, Tarsee.

The choice of mascot was never just about being distinct; it was a symbol of how DAILY TRIBUNE operates. Like the tarsier, we keep our eyes wide open. We stay alert. We observe quietly and speak only with the truth.

In creating these stamps, we knew they had to reflect more than just a milestone. They needed to say who we are today. Even as digital expands our reach, we remain grounded in print, not out of nostalgia, but because of what it represents. To commit something to paper is to verify it, stand by it, and make it matter. There is no edit button once the ink hits the page.

These stamps, traditionally used to send written letters, mirror the journey of print itself. Like letters, many thought stamps and print were outdated or forgotten. But just like handwritten messages, print still delivers more than just reminders. It carries stories. It preserves voices.

And at times when no one else wants to pick up the pen, trust that DAILY TRIBUNE will. These commemorative stamps are not just about looking back. They are proof that the truth still deserves to be written, printed, and delivered. Without fear, without favor.
