The Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) has announced the release of ASEAN Post commemorative stamps featuring the iconic “Manila Central Post Office Building” to mark the Joint Issue of the General ASEAN Post Office 2024.

The ASEAN POST stamp features the “General Post Office” building as the theme for 2024. Ten countries in the ASEAN Postal Region have introduced each façade of their main post office building, which symbolizes unity, integration, and cooperation among the ASEAN Post 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,” Postmaster General and PHLPost Chairperson Mike Planas said.

The stamp is issued to promote Philippine history and culture among ASEAN countries. The ASEAN POST stamps aim to foster closer relations and cooperation among the member countries of ASEAN.

The ASEAN Postal Business Meeting represents a significant milestone in fostering stronger collaborations and advancing postal networks within the ASEAN region.

It has significantly improved postal services across the ASEAN region for more than three decades.
