Chairman and Postmaster General Mike F. Planas has announced the release of ASEAN Post commemorative stamps featuring the iconic “Manila Central Post Office Building” to mark the Joint Issue of the General ASEAN Post Office 2024.
The ASEAN POST stamp features the “General Post Office” building as the theme for this year 2024. Ten (10) countries in the ASEAN Postal Region have introduced each of the façade of their main post office building which symbolizes unity, integration and cooperation from among the ASEAN Post member states.

The Stamp is being issued with a view to promote Philippine history and culture among ASEAN countries. The ASEAN POST stamps aim to foster closer relations and cooperation among the member countries of ASEAN.
The ASEAN Postal Business Meeting represents a significant milestone in fostering stronger collaborations and advancing the postal networks within the ASEAN.
