This website is an online site
for Philippine postage issues and topical/thematic collecting in stamp collecting. It has two main objectives: 1) It aims
to provide new issues service for Philippine stamps and first day covers to stamp collectors; and 2) It serves to promote
Philippine postage issues and topical/thematic collecting.
The title of the site is "Philippine
Stamps And Topical Collecting." It has ten main sections, namely: 1) Home, 2) New Issues Service, 3) Contact, 4) Catalog,
5) Philippine Topicals, 6)Topical Lists, 7) Articles, 8) Philatelic Terms, 9) Winning Exhibits, and 10) Photo Gallery. Naturally,
some of the main sections have sub-sections, and as I continue to work on my website, more sections and sub-sections will
be added. It is my intention to improve and upgrade the website for the next six months.
*The site first appeared online
during the last quarter of year 2004. *I have forgotten the exact date when it appeared online but I
remember quite clearly that I asked a computer expert to open a site for me and he did. The site had four sections
with few items and information. It remained the same for more than 3 months. I was completely ignorant on how to use a
computer. **Then, during the first week (or last week) of February, 2005, I asked my nephew to teach me how to open a
computer. When I did learn to "turn on" the computer, I explored the internet. Consequently, I realized that I can make a
website. I started working on my site in late March or early April. Since then, six sections were added and four of these
sections have sub-sections.
I have continued working on
my website inspite of the fact that I have very little knowledge on the use of computer. I have been extremely careful and
cautious. I did the layout and design as well as the research work and presentation of the text and visual contents. Except
for the clipart pictures, the built-in features of tripod.com and the materials which were identified as belonging to another
person or organization, all the philatelic items, pictures, articles, text contents as well as all other features
of the site are my properties. All rights reserved.
