Philippine postage stamps honoring Dr. Jose Rizal have been issued since 1906. Since then, our national
heroe’s portrait and/or his life and works have been featured on more than a hundred of our postage stamp issues.
Collecting Rizalian stamps is very easy and cheap. While some older materials may command a nice premium,
almost all Rizalian stamps are still inexpensive and readily available. Anybody could assemble an impressive
presentation without spending too much money.
With most Filipino youngsters shying from our hobby or worse, not even knowing it still exists, because of too much
commercialization, unaffordability and unavailability of Philippine materials, it is our hope that this article could spark
a small revival in collecting Philippine philatelic items among students and ordinary collectors.
The following is a complete list of Rizalian postal issues, up to the end of 2020, which could be used as a reference
in starting your new philatelic topical hobby. To the beginner collector, you should start with a type-set collection i.e.,
less the errors, color and perforation varieties and other details for the regular issues. You could consider these for
later on, when you start expanding your collection.

Commercial Security Stamps of the Philippines.
Once, in the early 1900s, some big companies in the Philippines experienced losses in the form of theft of postage
stamps they used in their mailing sections. To solve this situation, some firms then started applying their perforated
initials on their stamp stocks.
The Bureau of Posts allowed the said practice, contending that some local companies had done the same thing
during the Spanish period. More so, the Postal Bureau noted that at that time, large business establishements and
organizations in other countries were likewise doing this.
Only three large organizations used their perforated initials during this period:
1. The Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China

2. The American Red Cross Central Office in Manila
3. The Philippine Education Company

In 1925, postal officials ruled that this practice violated a law that prohibits likenesses of national personages to be
defaced. The use of perforated initials on Philippine stamps was thus discontinued after some time in 1926.
About a year earlier, the Rambler Shoe Company, a mail order shoe firm in Manila began hand-stamping its purcha-
ses for use in its mail. This was also tolerated by the Bureau of Posts and soon. other big establishments requested
the same hand-stamping practice on their stamp purchases. Only six companies were allowed to use hand-stamped
security stamps on their mails:
1. The Rambler Shoe Company

2. The Howard Lux Company
3. The C.L. Alcan Company
4. The Brians Roxas Company
5. The H.E. Heacock Company
6. The Camera Supply Company
The use of hand stamps by these companies continued until 1935.

In mid-1929 stamps overprinted “MANILA / P.I.” were replaced by the Bureau of Posts with stamps overprinted in
black with “RAMBLER / MANILA”. These new stamps saw very little use as The Rambler Shoe Company and its
subsidiary, The Howard-Lux Company ceased operations later that year.

2. The Howard Lux Company (enlarged)
On June 20, 1925, the Bureau of Posts delivered to The Rambler Shoe Company and its subsidiary, The Howard-
Lux Company, stamps overprinted in black with “MANILA / P.I.”. These commercial security stamps were used by
the two companies until replaced in mid-1929 with another set of stamps overprinted with “RAMBLER / MANILA”.
These new stamps saw very little use as The Rambler Shoe Company and its subsidiary, The Howard-Lux Company
ceased operations later that year.

3. The C. L. Alkan Company (enlarged)
On April 10, 1926, the sporting goods company C. Alcan, Inc. received from the Philippine Bureau of Posts, a supply
of stamps overprinted “A / MANILA / P.I.” in black. These stamps with commercial security overprints were used until
1932 when the C. Alcan, Inc. merged with the H. E. Heacock Company.
Sc# 290 Sc# 290a

4. The Brias Roxas Company (enlarged)
Following the lead of other commercial businesses in Manila, Brias Roxas, Inc. requested the Bureau of Posts for
its own overprinted stamps. On May 26, 1926, the Bureau of Posts delivered the stamps which were overprinted
“Manila / P. I.” in two lines of upper and lower case letters. Brias Roxas, Inc. overprinted stamps are the only Philip-
pine commercially overprinted stamps in both upper and lower case letters. Initially believed used only for a short
time in 1926. Now we know better as illustrated covers prove that the overprinted stamps were used up to 1930.

5. The H. E. Heacock Company (enlarged)
In 1915, Don Camille Alkan unexpectedly died and was buried in the Protestant cemetery at San Pedro de Macati (at
present, the City of Makati). Following his death, the store was run briefly by Don Jules Dreyfus (another French Al-
satian Jewish merchant) and Don Fritz Mathes. An American formerly with various Insular Government posts named
Charles H. Magee later ran C. Alkan, Inc. through the early 1930s. The business was acquired by H. E. Heacock Co.
in 1919. It would appear that the C. Alkan, Inc. store continued operating as a subsidiary of H. E. Heacock Co. after
the acquisition. Later, C. Alkan, Inc. also established provincial branch stores in Cebu and Davao. In 1932, the old
store location of C. Alkan, Inc. was closed and relocated to the new Heacock’s store building, where it occupied the
sporting goods and firearms section of the Heacock’s store.

6. The Camera Supply Company (enlarged)
In the 1920s and early 1930s, some companies availed themselves of special permits given by the Philippine Bureau
of Posts to have their company’s name initials either perforated or overprinted on current stamp issues of that pe-
riod. The main reason for doing this was to be able to identify stamps bearing their stores’ initials in cases of theft or
unauthorized use. The Camera Supply Company of Manila was the last commercial company to request overprinted
stamps from the Philippine Bureau of Posts. The stamps were overprinted
“C S” / MANILA / P.I. in black. These stamps were used starting June 6, 1927 and most likely terminated by the
company in 1929.
Sc# 290 Sc# 290a

It should be noted here that at that time, the local rate was only 2centavos and the only 2 centavos stamps then were
the Jose Rizal greens. It is trus concluded that all these companies had either perforated or hand-stamped the 2
centavos Rizal greens in their mails, giving Rizaliana stamp collectors another source of specialized topic in the form
of “Commercial Security Rizaliana Stamps”.
Note: All these “Commercial Security Rizaliana Stamps” are from the collection of Dr. Tommy C. Sim; thank you so
much Dr. Sim.
R-006 - May 13, 1926, “AIR MAIL / 1926 / MADRID-MANILA” ovpt on R-004. Varieties include a “broken left blade

R-009 - Commander Willis W. Bradley, Jr., CSN and Governor of Guam inaugurated a local
postal service on April 8, 1930 for the conveyance of mail between Agana (Guam) and
the other smaller towns on the island. The Rizal stamps of 1917 (R-004), together with
the 4c McKinley stamps were overprinted with the text “GUAM / GUARD / MAIL” and
were issued for this purpose. The ovpts came in several types: black ovpts on April 8
and on August 10, 1930 (a green shade variety was recorded on Aug. 10 issues) and
in red ovpt in December 1930. On these last ovpts were discovered the following er-
ors: “GRAUD” misprints, on pos. 63 and “MIAL” misprints, on pos. 84. This local postal
service was discontinued on April 8, 1931.

R-010 - On January 1, 1906, all government offices started to use postage stamps to prepay postage for their official mails.
These stamps could be found with the letters “O.B.” (Official Business) or “Official Mail” either type-written, hanstamped
or manually written manuscripts on them. Thus, the 1931 Machine printed “O.B.” stamps. Varieties include a missing
period after “O” and in some instances, after “B”.

VICTORY TIME
Varieties on the 2 Cts. “VICTORY” ISSUES.
Reproduced in full from the Philippine Journal of Philately, vol. IV no. 1, Sept-Oct. 1951, pp 22-26, by
Pablo M. Esperidion.
Philippine stamps are rich in overprints. Outstanding among them are the stamps portraying a picture of Dr. Jose
Rizal. They are the most fertile in overprints. This is so, as revealed by the different stamps illustrating the national
hero.
Prolific in overprints the different Rizal stamps, however, are not within the purview of this article as to approach such
an extensive area, it will result into considerable volume and space limitation does not permit in this publication. This
article, therefore, will dwell only on the 2c “Victory” issues whose overprints abound in varieties. As a matter of fact,
in the way of varieties, among overprinted stamps of the Philippines, the 2c “Victory” issues are the foremost, not to
say notorious.
PROVISIONAL ISSUES
Issued in Tacloban, Leyte on November 8, 1944 the first of the 2c “Victory” issues were the provisional stamps (Scott
363, 463a, 464, O38 and O39) and postal cards (Scott UX19A, UX19C and UX19D). The overprint on these pro-
visionals bears only the word “VICTORY”. It’s in capital letters, bold face, and sans serifs. This overprint measures
4 x 19.5 millimeters. Done by handstamp, it was applied in purple and purple-black.
The general run of this overprint shows the letters are not even on the same line, indicating a declining tendency both
on the left and right side with an appreciable degree. As it appears, it seems the material used for this overprint was
easily worn out. In all likelihood the defective material and the most trying conditions under which it was prepared
during the early days of the liberation, accounts for this variety.
Other varieties on this overprint are also extant, but they are not constant. Most of them are broken letters of minor
significance. Prominent variety on this overprint however, is the broken “T” in the word “VICTORY”, This is a con-
firmed variety.
How this variety occured it was quite interesting. Incidentally, it was briefly pointed out in my personal column,
POSTSCRAPARIUM, in the May-June 1949 issue of the Philippine Journal of Philately. For the sake of ready
references, I’m reproducing it hereunder:
Result of what an insignificant pin can do is the broken “T”, the prominent variety on the stamps of the provisional
“Victory” issue of Leyte. According to postal inspector Benedicto Cunanan, of Tacloban, Leyte, who supervised the
overprinting of the provisional “Victory” stamps, the rubberstamp used in overprinting the stamps was broken into
two pieces, the break occurring between the letters “T” and “O” in the word “VICTORY”. To join again the broken
rubber-stamp, a pin was pushed between the two broken pieces with the head of the pin peeping out and resting on
the left side of the letter “T” in “VICTORY”. Thus upon application of the rubber-stamp, the broken “T” in “VICTORY”,
attributed to the head of the pin was the result.
This outstanding variety not only on the provisional 2c “Victory” stamps but also on the provisional 2c “Victory” postal
cards. In point of fact, on virtually all the provisional “Victory” stamps of different denominations, this variety is the
most prominent.
R-022 - November 8, 1944, violet hand-stamped “VICTORY” on R-015.
R-023 - November 8, 1944, violet hand-stamped “VICTORY” on R-016. Scott # 463 & #O38
R-024 - November 24, 1944, violet hand-stamped “VICTORY” on the R-014 booklet panes of 1937. Only 7 of these
booklets were reported handstamped.
Note: A few of the R-012, R-014 and R-016 O.B. stamps were also hand-stamped violet “VICTORY”. These issues, along with
R-022 are one of the rarest stamps of Philippine philately.

REGULAR ISSUES
Three month after D-Day in Leyte, another 2c “Victory” stamps (Scott 485) and another 2c “Victory” postal card (Scott
UX20) were again issued in Tacloban. January 19, 1945, was their First Day Issue. These two issues, however, were
not provisionals. They were of the regular postage series.
For purposes of this “Victory issue, the 2c prewar stamp of the Commonwealth (Scott 433) was overprinted with
“VICTORY”. This overprint appears on top of the design, and below, the word “COMMON-WEALTH” is overprinted in
two lines. Both overprints are in capital letters. They were printed in black and printing was done by machine.

The Rizaliana Sheetlets of 1989
In 1988, a two-year supply of Japanese paper came with a wrong size. So, to save on paper trom losses, postal
authorities decided to print two Miniature Sheets (MS) or sheetlets of fifteen on every sheet of paper for four sheets
of fifty commemoratives. These sheetlets were announced in the philatelic bulletins and collectors collected them.
These sheetlets were quite expensive for collectors even at only their face values and after six issues, postal au-
thorities decided to make adjustments in their printing. The three center stamps in the sheetlet of fifteen were left
unprinted, producing two sheetlets of six in the process.
Now, with sheetlets of six, there were then four sheetlets for every sheet of paper printed. These sheetlets were pro-
duced on some issues until the supply of the imported Japanese paper ran out.
Two Rizaliana issues have been produced with sheetlets: The July 1, 1989 Centenary of the French Revolution
(CA-70MSa and CA-70-MSb), and the Nov. 17, 1989 World Stamp Expo ‘89 P5.50 stamps (CA-71MS).

Doña Teodora Alonzo stamps
Jose Rizal’s parents and brother Paciano were also featured on Philippine stamps. All these issues include a portrait
of our national hero. It was only in one occasion that Rizal’s mother was portrayed alone, that is why the stamps were
not included in this book. This Section is intended only to complete the members of the Rizal Family on Philippine
stamps.
Aside from the Birth centennial set of 1961, Rizal’s mother was also honored by our postal authorities in 1974 as part
of that year’s third series of Prominent Filipino definitive stamps. These stamps were overprinted with the Marcela
Aconcillo definitive stamps in 1975 for that year’s “Air Mail Stamp Exhibition” and were also surcharged with a new
denomination with two other issues in 1981.
These stamps were printed, overprinted and surcharged by the Government Printing Office. The original stamps
were perforated 12½ (imperforate stamps were also issued) and printed on watermarked (design 1) paper, while the
imperforates were on unwatermarked paper.

VICTORY TIME
Regarding the 2c “Victory” postal card (Scott UX20) of the regular issue, few varieties on its overprint are known to
exist. Nevertheless, in approaching the varieties on the overprint of this postal card, I believe it warrants approa-
ching too, the varieties on its design or stamp imprint. Not that thers’s a reason for this, but the varieties on the stamp
imprint of this postal card dwarfs those of the overprint.
It’s a little known fact that the subject postal card was originally intended for release prior Pearl Harbor, and accor-
dingly, without the overprint “VICTORY”. But it was never released so. The outbreak of the Pacific hostilities preven-
ted its release and the shipment of the postal cards in question was held in the United States. Obviously, while never
released as a pre-war postal card, that is, without the overprint “VICTORY” it was overprinted and issued eventually.
This was done in the early days of the Liberation. To all intents and purposes, therefore, originally it was a new issue,
but it was overprinted simultaneously, only upon its release.
Printing varieties on the stamp imprint of this postal card are quite numerous, but so far they have not been reported
in the philatelic press. Making therefore a study of them as well as the varieties on its overprint, I’ve gathered the fol-
lowing varieties, which are quite prominent:
(1) Double “H” in “PHILIPPINES”. Variety due to the joining of (16) Abnormal “C” in “COMMONWEALTH”.
“I” and “L” by a white horizontal bar crossing these two (a) Short vertival line dividing the card.

other collectors who have made a study of this particular postal stationery must have found identical discoveries, or
perhaps, even more.

CC - CINDERELLAS, etc
Stamp collectorsrefer to “Cinderellas” as those items in their collection that are bogus (stamps issued from
mythical places or non-existent administrations), municipal issues, labels, poster stamps, exhibition seals,
etc. They are really non-philatelic items but sometimes, collectors find them interesting and include them
in their collections.
This Chapter contains everything from cinderellas, stamps and souvenir sheet selvages or margins, or just
plain “Rizaliana” photographs or his works as part of any philatelic item (prestige booklets, booklet covers,
etc.) officially issued by postal authorities.
There may be many more items under this category that were issued in earlier years, but lack of informa-
tion and documentation has made it impossible to come up with a detailed list at this time. The author
would therefore like to solicit fresh information from the readers that would enable him to come up with
more items under this category in future editions of this book.
In 1996, during the ASEANPEX’96 International Philatelic Exhibits, the representative of the House of
Questa distri-buted free copies of Cinderella souvenir sheets that featured a perforated ASEANPEX’96
official logo and Dr. Jose Rizal’s portrait on the souvenir sheet’s margins.

Two years later, the Philippines celebrated its Centenary of Independence. One of the special philatelic items made
by the Philippine Postal Corporation was a “Prestige Booklet” that featured the Freedom Trail by Filipino soldiers of
the 1898 Philippine Revolution.
Dr. Jose Rizal was featured 3 times in this booklet: One P16.00 denominated souvenir sheet, one photograph show-
ing him with Marcelo H. Del Pilar and Mariano Ponce and the other, at the back of that photo shows the Rizal Shrine
in Dapitan City.
The P16.00 - Rizaliana souvenir sheet and the P22.00 overprinted version of it can be found under Stamp issues
R-094 and R-107.

philatelic affair, the “Philpost-One Philatelic Exhibits (POPE) ‘99” with the Pampanga (now “Philippine”) Stamp Collec-
tors’ Society’s (PSCS) “MANNA FILATELICA V” for a joint-affair that involved a Region-wide Roving Philatelic Exhibit
in postal regions i and III.
The affair lasted for almost three month and traveled to all provinces of Region I (the Ilocos Region) and was culmi-
nated with the PSCS’ affair at San Fernando, Pampanga. The PSCS issued a Cinderella stamp to celebrate this affair
that included a reproduction of the first Rizal stamp.

PHILIPPINE TUBERCULOSIS-SOCIETY CHRISTMAS SEALS
THE 1910 RIZAL CHRISTMAS SEAL

by Nemy L. Rivera
The year was 1910. The just founded Philippine Anti-Tuberculosis Society urgently needed money to begin its work.
In September, two members of its Ways and Means Committee proposed the “preparation and sale of so-called holi-
day stamps” as an initial means of raising funds. On October 10, the Committee “authorized the purchase of 500,000
holiday stamps at a cost of P378.00 “ (!)
(enlarged)
This was the first Christmas seal of the Philippines. It features a portrait of Jose Rizal (1861 – 1896), the Philippine
national hero, in an oval frame superimposed on an ornate double-barred cross. This was printed by the Bureau of
Printing, Manila, in green and red, VR 22 ½ x 30, roulette 7.
On the occasion of its 75th anniversary, the Society, now named “The Philippine Tuberculosis Society” approved the
reprinting of the Rizal seal, together with two other early seals, for incorporation into the se-tenant design of the 1985
Christmas seals. PTS, however, instructed the artist to make the following deliberate artwork differences to clearly
distinguish the original from the reprint: In the original, the face of Rizal is completely covered with fine contour shade
lines; the berries at the top portion of the seal are bunches of small red dots and the upper tip of the cross is pointed
and touches the upper frame. In the reprint, the face of Rizal is partly covered in solid green, with blank spots on
forehead and cheeks; the berries are single bigger red dots and the tip of the cross is a bit rounded and does not
touch the upper frame.
With a mintage of 500,000 seals one wonders how come the Rizal seals has now become such a rarity.

Society, Inc.)

Puppet Central Bank Issue: The Government had been actively working towards economic control of their territories
They had organized a so-called “Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere” through which the economic influence of
Japan was to reign supreme. Soon after the establishment of the Puppet Republic, the Japanese organized a Cen-
tral Bank which was to be the issuing authority for subsequent Philippine currency emissions. One note was actually
printed, though never released to circulation.
This was the One Hundred Peso, decreed on February 29, 1944 containing the portrait of Dr. Jose Rizal at left. This
note is believed to have been printed in early 1945 and never reached general circulation.

The Central Bank of the Philippines was established on January 3, 1949, three years after
the Philippines obtained their independence from American rule.
The first official banknotes the CB issued were the 1 to 500 pesos notes, aptly called the “English Series” to distin-
guish them from the series succeeding it.
The 2 Pesos Notes were issued with the signatures of four different Presidents and two different Governors:
1. Elpidio Quirino and M. Cuaderno 20,000,000
2. Ramon Magsaysay and M. Cuaderno 30,000,000

Second Series - PILIPINO TEXT 1969-1973
The prevailing winds of nationalism that swept all sectors of the society during the era also overwhelmed the money
issuing institution of the country. Thus, the Filipinazation of the currency begun in 1978. After issuing coins with busts
of Filipino heroes and inscribed in Filipino, the CB, towards the end of 1969, started to issue the portraits of Filipino
heroes on the face, while vignettes in Philippine history appear on the back. Also introduced with the “Filipino Series”
notes were new security features like the watermark or blank space on the left side of each note where the image of
the portrait of the bill carries can be seen when viewed against the light.

THIRD SERIES PILIPINO TEXT - “ANG BAGONG LIPUNAN” (ABL) Series 1974-1985
A new social order was introduced with the declaration of Martial Law on September 21, 1972. Presidential Decree
no. 168 was issued on April, 1973 replacing and demonetizing the currency note issues of the Central Bank as of
July 1, 1973. Unused banknotes of the Pilipino Series remaining in the vaults of the Central Bank were sent back to
Thomas de la Rue for “overprinting”. The words “ANG BAGONG LIPUNAN” arched over an oval geometric safety
design were overprinted in the watermark area on the face of each note. These new overprints came after more than
two decades after the initial CB overprints were issued. In this new series, the 1-P note was replaced by 2-P notes
