Last April 7, the Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) releases the design and the price of the commemorative stamps in honoring Miss Universe 2015 Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach and aims to release it this month. PHLPost is just waiting for the approval of Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Incorporated (BPCI) and Miss Universe Organization to begin their printing. PHLPost will issue 101,000 pieces of the regular stamps, which will cost Php 15 each, while 5,000 pieces of souvenir sheets will be released and to be sold at Php 40 per piece.
The two stamps will feature Pia in her shining moment when she was crowned Miss Universe last December 2015 in Las Vegas. In addition in the souvenir sheet of the stamps will feature a special embellishment called tactile glittery texture embossed to enhance the important look and feel of the stamps. The glitters would be limited to her crown, if when touch, you would feel the rough texture on it.
The stamps will surely be a hit for collectors. Pia joins the roasters of the Pinoy “living legends” including boxing legend Manny Pacquiao, Miss Universe 1969 Gloria Diaz, Miss Universe 1973 Margarita Moran, and Miss World 2013 Megan Young.
