In celebration of diplomatic ties of the Philippines to the world, the Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) released a commemorative stamp and first day cover featuring the 90th Anniversary of Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office, National Day of Charity on 30 October 2024.
The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office has been one of the country’s symbols of life and hope for the marginalized sector of the population. Because of their mandate to provide assistance to various health and social welfare programs, the PCSO has pursued humanitarian goals and objectives by raising funds through sweepstakes and lotteries since its establishment in 1935. Background color of Brown (2024 printing) instead of Reddish-Brown (2025 printing) was rejected by PCSO. Additional printing with the corrected color was delivered to PCSO.
The 90th Anniversary of Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office, National Day of Charity Stamp and First Day Cover will be available at the Philatelic Division of the Manila Central Post Office.
