The Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) represented by Postmaster General Joel Otarra and Governor Chiz Escudero of the Province of Sorsogon celebrated their 125th founding Anniversary with the launching of the special commemorative stamp last October 17.

Featured on the 125th Founding Anniversary stamp are the most famous facets of Sorsogon- the Provincial Capitol Building, the Donsol butanding or whale shark, the scenic mountainscapes of the province, and the Cross marking the site of the first Holy Mass held in Gibalon, Magallanes in 1569. This event is celebrated every October 22 and coincides with the town’s Kasanggayahan (Prosperity) Festival.

It was on October 17, 1894, that Sorsogon was officially separated from the province of Albay.

Sorsogon City is its Capital.

The province of Sorsogon‘s rich culture and heritage are valuable assets to the province, and the people of Sorsogon honoring their roots.

PHLPost has printed 40,000 pieces of the stamps which is being sold at P12 each. Graphic Artist Rodine Teodoro designed the stamps.
