THE Philippine Postal Corp. (PHLPost) is using the 49th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) Summit to promote the country’s cultural heritage to an international audience through specially selected postcards and commemorative stamps that foreign media delegates can send home.
In partnership with the Department of Tourism (DOT), PHLPost will make the postcards and stamps available at the Asean International Media Center, which opened on Nov. 12 at the World Trade Center in Pasay City.
The postcards feature the Philippines’ tangible and intangible cultural heritage, while the stamps commemorate the country’s Asean 2026 chairship, the 50th anniversary of the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia, and Philippine fruits.
Media delegates covering the summit can use PHLPost’s mailing services at the center to send the postcards to family and friends abroad, giving them an opportunity to share images of the Philippines with people in other countries.
They can also have their photographs printed on personalized stamps, providing them with unique souvenirs of their experience in the country.
PHLPost said the initiative forms part of its role as the country’s designated postal operator, mandated to maintain a nationwide postal network serving communities across the Philippines.
The postal corporation said the partnership with the DOT would help promote the country’s cultural heritage and strengthen its international presence by bringing Philippine postcards and stamps to the global media community.
