Share

The Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) has unveiled a special set of commemorative stamps celebrating the Philippines’ hosting of the FIVB Volleyball Men’s World Championship, happening from September 12 to 28 at the Mall of Asia Arena and Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.

PHLPost Chief of Staff Atty. Marigold L. Arroyo, representing Postmaster General and CEO Maximo Sta. Maria III, together with Philippine National Volleyball Federation (PNVF) President Ramon “Tats” Suzara, led the ceremonial presentation during the official launch of “Set na Natin ’To!” at the Mall of Asia Music Hall in Pasay City.

“PHLPost is honored to be part of this historic milestone, as the world’s best volleyball athletes bring their skill, discipline, and heart to Philippine soil. This is more than a tournament—it is a celebration of resilience and excellence, values that every Filipino athlete carries with pride,” Atty. Arroyo said.

Throughout its history, PHLPost has honored the nation’s sporting icons through stamps that travel the world, immortalizing champions such as Manny Pacquiao, Olivia ‘Bong’ Coo, Paeng Nepomuceno, Efren ‘Bata’ Reyes, Hidilyn Diaz, and Carlos Yulo, among others. This tradition continues with the FIVB Men’s World Championship, where stamps serve not only as collectibles but as symbols of national pride, cultural diplomacy, and the boundless Filipino sporting spirit.

This special issuance also pays tribute to the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) for its decades-long contribution in developing Philippine sports—from grassroots programs to international competitions—uplifting national pride and inspiring future generations to pursue greatness.

“On behalf of PHLPost, we extend our gratitude to the organizers, athletes, and fans—whether in the stands or at home. Together, the Filipino people are set to celebrate not only the sport of volleyball, but also the unity and passion that define us as a community,” Arroyo added.

PHLPost has printed 10,000 copies of the commemorative stamp, each with a denomination of ₱16. A personalized stamp set featuring the Philippine flag and the official FIVB MVWC mascots—Koolog, Kid Lat, and Hataw—has also been released, along with a specially designed souvenir first-day cover envelope. These are now available at the Manila Central Post Office PostShop, Liwasang Bonifacio.

Started in 1927, the Philippines Graphic is the longest-running printed magazine of national circulation that provides relevant news and features and promotes Philippine literature.
