THE Philippine Postal Corp. (PHLPost) will launch today the country’s first Olympic gold stamp in honor of Hidilyn Diaz who clinched the country’s first gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

PHLPost will also be launching the stamps for Filipino Olympic silver medalists Carlo Paalam and Nesthy Petecio, and bronze medalist Eumir Marcial.

In a statement on Friday, PHLPost said the stamps recognize “the glory they [the athletes] have given to our nation and to the Filipino people” that is “priceless”.

PHLPost will also be launching the “Keep the Faith, Be a Hero, Vaccinated Stamps”.

It said it would be the first to be issued by a postal administration which promotes Covid-19 jabs as a way to end the pandemic.

The launching will be attended by PHLPost Postmaster General Norman Fulgencio, Presidential Assistant for the Visayas, Secretary Michael Lloyd Dino and the Olympic medalists.

It will be held at the Manila Central Post Office Building at the Liwasang Bonifacio in Manila.
