PHLPost offers ‘meet’ special postcards, custom stamps

The Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) is offering local and international journalists covering the 49th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit the opportunity to share the country’s cultural heritage worldwide through specially curated postcards and commemorative stamps.

Operating out of the ASEAN International Media Center — which opened Thursday at the World Trade Center in Pasay City — PHLPost is providing dedicated mailing services for visiting media delegates throughout the regional gathering.

Developed in partnership with the Department of Tourism (DoT), the postcard collection highlights the Philippines’ tangible and intangible cultural heritage.

Featured postage issues include the Philippines’ Chairship of ASEAN 2026 stamp, a commemorative stamp marking the 50th anniversary of the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia, and the ASEAN Fruits stamp series.

In addition to mailing postcards to family and friends abroad, accredited journalists can have their photographs printed on personalized stamps to serve as keepsakes from their coverage in the Philippines.

PHLPost stated that bringing local philatelic items directly to the international press corps underscores its role in connecting the Philippines with the global community while promoting the nation’s heritage on the international stage.
