Special Philippine Stamp Issues (with designer signature)

As to give way on my other collections that I have, I'll now share this uncommon philatelic items from the Philippines. Normally one would acquire stamp in singles, blocks or even in sheet but this one's are really different. Personally, I'm not really into stamp collection before and I'm just appreciating such stuff recently while exploring other things to collect other than Philippine money.

This set of stamps came from my collector friend, Mr. Coolpit and it seems that his passion for collecting things influenced me somehow and now I am also appreciating different items other than my earlier collection.

As you can see, the set below seems to be just your average stamps placed in a envelope cover but the difference is that it not a cover(just a piece of hard paper) and it bears the signature of the stamp designer (namely: "Nemesio Dimanlig Jr."). I haven't really seen such manner of presenting stamps before and for me, this is what make these items interesting to have.

The first item depicts Andres Bonifacio(a Filipino hero) and holding an itak(large knife, bolo) while a revolutionary flag is set behind him. There are three different denominations given for these stamps: 5 Centavos, 6 Centavos and 25 Centavos. Another thing that is unusual about this one is that it also tells that Helio Corvoisier S.A., Switzerland printed these stamps.

The next one shows a stamp with the picture of former Philippine President Ramon Magsaysay having a quoted statement written in Filipino with English translation saying:

"NANINIWALA AKO NA ANG TAONG KAPOS SA BUHAY AY DAPAT PUNAN SA BATAS."

Translated in English as:

-"I BELIEVE THAT HE WHO HAS LESS IN LIFE SHOULD HAVE MORE IN LAW."

This one was printed by the Government Printing Bureau, Japan and has the denomination of 6 and 30 Centavos.

For now, this is the only information I can provide and if anyone would like to share any other additional info about this and also about my previous posts, please you are very welcome to do so and I would gladly include it in my post. this is for the stamp category for now and I hope you'll appreciate it as well.
