THE PHILIPPINE POSTAL Corporation
(PHILPost) has issued a stamp featuring Iglesia Ni Cristo’s first Executive Minister,
Brother Felix Y. Manalo (1914-1965), in commemoration of the INC 100th anniversary.
The stamp also features the INC centennial logo and the Central Temple along
Quezon City's Commonwealth Avenue.
PHLPost has produced 1.2 million
pieces of this stamp in P10 denomination. The stamp is printed in black and
white, except for the centennial logo, to provide "a nostalgic view of the
INC from past to present," PHILPost said in a statement last May 4, 2014.
The design was provided by Bienvenido
Santiago Jr, while the layout was provided by Vic Serevo. The stamp measures 50
mm x 35 mm, making it the first stamp to be printed larger than the regular 40
mm x 30 mm stamp size.
“We are proud to issue the
centennial commemorative stamps of Iglesia ni Cristo and to Bro. Felix, its
first Executive Minister whose...untiring care for the Church members is
remarkable,” said Postmaster General Josefina dela Cruz.
The special commemorative stamp
will be presented on Saturday, May 10, at the INC Central Temple, and will be
sold by the PHILpost starting that day at the Manila Central Post Office.
