PhlPost to issue commemorative stamps for OGCC anniversary

MANILA, Philippines - The Philippine Postal Corp. (PhlPost) will issue in December stamps commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Office of the Government Corporate Counsel (OGCC).

“The Philippine Postal Corp. takes pride in issuing the commemorative stamps, as we put on record 80 years of OGCC success,” PhlPost postmaster general Ma. Josefina dela Cruz said in a statement.

Dela Cruz recently signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with OGCC head Justice Raoul Creencia.

Based on the agreement, the OGCC stamps will feature the first Government Corporate Counsel, the late former senator and associate justice of the Supreme Court Ramon Diokno, and the official seal for the agency’s anniversary celebration.

Limited copies of the commemorative stamp will be released starting Dec. 1.

A commemorative stamp is often issued for a significant occasion, such as an anniversary, to honor a place, event, person or object. It is sold for a short period until supplies run out.
