1 PHILIPPINE POSTAL SLOGANS By Pablo M. Esperidon Categories of Slogans Classifying the postal slogans of the Philippines, I have grouped them under the following categories: 1) Official, 2) Semi-Official, 3) Commercial. Postal slogans and/or postal slogan cancellations as used by the Bureau of Posts, are considered as Official. Those used by other government departments or bureaus, are designated as Semi-Official. Under this same category, those used by the U.S.Navy (slogan cancels on Philippine waters) in the prewar days and by the GIs during the early months of the liberation, are designated likewise. And postal slogans used by private firms or individuals, are identified as Commercial. Types of Slogans Used mostly by the Manila Post Office for almost half of a century, the official postal slogans are identified philatelically under the following types: Doremus, Flags, Straightline, Universal, Boxed and Fancy. Postal slogans of the foregoing types have been applied by machine and/or by handstamp. Too, they are postal slogan cancellations and/or just plain postal slogans. Under the machine slogan cancels, there are the Doremus, Flags, Universal and Boxed. And under the hand stamp types, there are the Straightline and the Fancy. Of the Boxed slogans however, some of them were applied by hand stamp and some by machine. Doremus Types Forerunner of the machine cancellations and slogan machine cancels in the Phiippines, is the Doremus. This machine cancel has several types. However, only three types were used by the Manila Post Office. They were introduced in this country in 1905, 1906 and 1908 respectively. Bearing 14 vertical bars, the Doremus slogan cancellation is like the keyboard of a piano. Hence, its designation, Doremus (from the musical notes Do, Re Mi). This type of canceling machine was manufactured by the Doremus Canceling Machine Co., Washington, D.C. Earliest known Doremus slogan cancel in the Philippines was dated Oct. 15, 1908 legend of its slogan reads: PHILIPPINE CARNIVAL - MANILA, FEB. 2-9, 1909, all in capital letters in two lines. It was applied in black. Parenthically, in the U.S. Slogan Postmark Catalogue by Donald W. Tucker, published in 1938 in the United States, the earliest known Doremus slogan cancel of the Philippines is listed as in 1909, which listing, I believe, is one year behind. Nevertheless, this slogan cancel was also used in 1909 and Prior to the use of the Doremus slogan cancel, however, two other types were used by the Manila Post Office. They were both without slogans. One of them was with vertical bars only. It was a plain machine cancel. As to the other type, it was not used as a cancellation but merely as a receiving postmark or backstamp. Thus it bears the word RECEIVED, in capital letters in one line. The formar was used by the Manila Post Office in This is according to Col. A.C. Townsend, an American philatelic writer of note. While the latter, the earliest dat I have seen was Aug. 6, Other dates I have seen were Oct. 8, 1906, June 28, 1907 and Sep. 22, In so far as Philippine postal history is concerned, the Manila Post Office had therefore used three types of the Doremus-machine cancels. As described before they are 1) Plain machine cancel; 2) Backstamp cancel; and 3) Slogan cancel. Flag Types Next to the Doremus, there came the Flag machine cancellations. As far as collectors are concerned, there are three major types of the flag cancels. They are known as the Ovate, Involute and Spread Star Field. Still, under these three major types, there are the specific types. They are the following: Ovate Star Field, Spread Star Field, Boxed Slogan, Backstamp, Station Cancel, Exposition Cancel, Battleship Slogan and Naval Station Cancel. These specific types however, were not all used in the Philippines. Only the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th and 7th types were utilized. Wholly they were used by the Manila Post Office but the 7th type which was used by the U.S. Navy, in Cavite.

2 Because there are no available records, the exact date as to when the first Flag machine cancel was used in the Philippines is not known. At any rate, earliest Flag cancel seen was dated Jan. 17, It was a Spread Star Field. Motif of this cancel is an American Flag. It has 13 stars spread in the field and seven wavy stripes on the right. In the Union it has a staff and a halyard. Used in 1917, this type of Flag cancel was also used in the ensuring years, such as, in 1919, 1920, 1921 and in This is as far as I have seen. Bearing a slogan in the field, is the Boxed type. Like the Spread Star Field, it has also a staff and a halyard, plus the usual seven wavy stripes. The earliest date seen of this Flag slogan bears May 3, And the legend of the slogan reads: ARE YOU HELPING NOT, WHY NOT, -BUY A-LIBERTY BOND, all caps in four lines. It was applied in black. While this Boxed slogan cancel was used in 1918, at least five other slogan cancels of the same type were used in the same year. Prolifically used by the Manila Post Office during the closing years of the First World War up to the 20 s, the Flag slogan cancels of the Boxed type, are known to exist with at least 24 different slogan cancels. This is as far as I have seen in the study of this particular solgan cancellation. Another specific type of the Flag machine cancels used by the Manila Post Office, was the Backstamp. As its name indicates, it s not a slogan. It was a postal marking used by the Manila Post Offices as a receiving postmark. Stamped on the back of the envelopes, especially on incoming foreign first-class mail, it bears the word RECEIVED inscribed in the union of the Flag. Hence its use as a backstamp. Earliest date reported of this type was Aug. 28, All Flag slogan cancels of the Philippines were applied by machine and used by the Manila Post Office. Then too, they were applied in black. Notwithstanding this, however, one of them was done by handstamp and it was applied in purple. It was used by the Post Office of Capiz, Capiz and the earliest date seen was Dec. 3, Another type of handstamp Flag slogan cancel was used by the Manila Post Office. It was used on May 19, 1934, on the occasion of the closing of the Tenth Far Eastern Championship Games, in Manila. Superimposed on a flag of five wavy lines, is the slogan bearing only the letters PAFF, arranged like musical notes. This slogan cancel was applied in purple, but unlike the Flag machine slogan cancels, it has entirely a different format. Use of the Flag machine cancels and/or slogan cancellations was continued by the Manila Post Office for almost ten years. The latest was in Then, it was discontinued. All in all, at least there were 30 different kinds of the Flag types which were used in the Philippines. Straightline Types with Grids During the last three years of use of the Flag slogan cancels, it s interesting to observe that the Manila Post Office utilized at the same time, at least three different Straightline slogan cancels. They were applied by handstamp but of steel die. Besides this, each has a grid. It s a barrel-killer. Still, each barrel-killer has a different type. The largest is with five heavy horizontal bars, the longest measuring 2 x 3 centimeters. The height of this stamp killer is 3,7 centimeters. Earliest date seen of this Straight-line slogan cancel was Oct. 11, 1924 with the slogan reading: REGISTER-INSURE-ALL-VALUABL , all in caps, sans serif in five lines. It has a circular town mark with a single frame Cebu Post Office, but in this case, instead of MANILA, P.I. The second type of this Straight-line slogan cancel was also used by the Manila Post Office. Its slogan reads: MANILA - TRADE CENTER - OF THE - PACIFIC, all in caps, sans serif in five lines. Earliest date seen was July 3, Its barrel-killer however, is smaller than the first, but it s townmark is exactly the same as the former.

3 Third type of the Straight-line slogan cancels bears the wording: MANILA, P. I. - (Date) - (Time) - (Year) - ADDRESS MAIL - TO - STREET AND - NUMBER, all in caps, sans serifs in eight lines. Earliest date seen was April 7, It has also a barrel-killer, but it s the smallest of the three types of grids. As it appears, the third type is a combined town mark and slogan cancel. And while it was used by the Manila Post Office, it was used likewise by the Cebu Post Office, but in this case, instead of MANILA, P. I. as its point of origin in the town mark, CEBU, P. I. is indicated. Earliest date seen of this as used in Cebu was Sep. 23, And the latest date I have seen was Feb. 23, Straightline Types in Native For the first time in the postal history of the Philippines, the Bureau of Posts, in 1927, set into use a series of postal slogans in native dialects. Applied by handstamp, they were utilized during a campaign for national thrift. Postally, they were called the thrift slogans, however, they are not slogan cancels. They are just plain postal slogans. Neither are they boxed nor framed. They come in two or more inscriptions, in simple straightlines. Nor withstanding their simplicity, yet they are quite interesting. What makes them interesting are their legends. They are in native dialects. Some of them as far as I could gather, are in the following dialects: Tagalog, Ilocano, Bicolano and Visayan. In addition to this, there were some in English. Then too, some were in English and Tagalog combined. Where these postal slogans in native dialects had been used, as far as I have seen them on covers, there were those from Manila, Lucena (Tayabas now Quezon), Sta. Cruz (Laguna), Lobo (Batangas), Calapan (Mindoro), Laoag (Ilocos Norte), Legaspi (Albay), Rapu-Rapu (Albay), and Surigao (Surigao). They were applied by handstamp in red, but some were in purple. Earliest date seen of these thrift slogans was July 3, The slogan was in Tagalog. Its wording reads: ABARAGAN ANG MASIGLANG, PAGSISIKAP SA PAGTITIPID, all in caps in two lines, the break in the first line appearing in the division of PAG and SISI-KAP by a hyphen. This slogan was used by the Manila Post Office. It was applied in red. While use of this series of postal slogans in native dialects was first seen as early as in July 1927, at least they saw postal service for one and a half years. Latest date I have seen was Dec. 11, The slogan was in Tagalog and the point of origin was Calapan, Mindoro. It has a legend reading: LUMAYO KAYO SA MGA MASAMANG-PA-NUKALA NG MGA TAO-AT LIPUNANG PANGSAMANTALA LA-MANG-NG-SALAPI, all in caps in four lines, a breaking occuring in the third line by the division of LA and MANG by a hyphen. This slogan was applied in red. Far from being relevant to the series of the thrift slogans, in 1928, there appeared another provincial postal slogan. In essence, it was an exposition handstamp straightline. Its point of origin was San Pablo, Laguna, and inscription of the slogan is: SAN PABLO CAR-NIVAL - AND - LAGUNA PROVINCIAL FAIR - April , 1928, in three lines, the first and second all in caps but the third in caps and in lower cases. Earliest date seen of this type was Mar. 12, Townmark in black but the slogan in purple. Straightline Types-Occupation Fifteen years after the first series of the thrift slogans was discarded, the Bureau of Posts used again another series. This time it was in 1943, incidentally, during the Japanese Occupation. And at that time, the Bureau of Posts was changed to Bureau of Communications. Of the Occupation series which was used exclusively by the Manila Post Office, there were only three slogans of different types, and like their predecessors, they were hand-stamp likewise. But, unlike the first series used in 1927 and 1928 which was in several native dialects, the second series in 1943, was all in English. At the outset, this seems curious. Curiously enough, while everything American was being related into oblivion by the Japanese militarists during the Occupation, to use the 1943 thrift slogans all in English, inclines one to believe there must be some underground movement then within the massive walls of the Manila Post Office. As a matter of fact, one of these thrift slogans was a memory gem from the writings of Benjamin Franklin. It was, Thrift takes you up the ladder, waste brings you down. Whoever suggested it to the postal authorities, that I don t know. But, I do know that on June 23, 1943, I wrote an open letter in the Public Pulse column of the Manila Tribune, suggesting the use of some thrift postal slogans by the Bureau of Communications. And one and a half months after publication of said open letter, the Manila Post Office began using a series of three thrift slogans, the First Day use of which was on August 5, Wording of the slogans are as follows: 1) POSTAL SAVING BANK-Deposit your savings-with the local-postmaster 2) POSTAL SAVINGS BANK-Thrift takes you up-the ladder, waste-brings you down 3) POSTAL SAVINGS BANK-He that will not econ-omize, you will have to-agonize.

4 Each of the slogans is in four lines, the first line all in capital letters and underlined. The rest are in caps and lower cases. Used by the Manila Post Office, they saw postal service for about three month. Straightline Types -- Guerilla It s interesting to note, while the Occupation thrift slogans were being used by the Manila Post Office, the Guerilla goverment of the free Philippines functioning somewhere in Mindanao was also using a postal slogan with the inscription reading: WE DEPEND UPON -- GENERAL MAC ARTHUR-PLEDGE TO RETURN! This guerilla postal slogan is in three lines and all in capital letters. Boxed in a rectangle, its size is 1,9 x 3,8 centimeters. It was applied by handstamp in purple. Earliest date seen of this guerilla slogan was Dec. 23, Straightline Type-Liberation Close on the heels of the liberation of Manila early in February 1945 and with the mopping operations of the U.S. Armed Force going on in the Philippines, the Manila Post Office on May 1, 1945 put into use a Straightline postal with legend, LABOR DAY -- CALLING ON ALL LABORERS -- HELP YOUR COUNTRY -- SECURE EMPLOY- MENT WITH U.S. ARMY - FOR ESSENTIAL WAR WORK, all in caps in five lines. This slogan was applied by rubber stamp in purple. It was used for one day only, coincident with Labor Day and the First Day of the 8c, 1-P and 20c special delivery stamp of the VICTORY regular postage series. Universal Types The first Universal machines slogan cancel was introduced in the Philippines in It bears the legend: MANILA -TRADE CENTER -OF THE -PACIFIC all in capital letters sans serifs in four lines. According to the Bureau of Posts, this machine slogan cancel was used by the Manila Post Office, the first day of use being: July 12, Boxed in a rectangle, its size is 1,9 x 5,5 cm, the rectangle measuring 1,9 x 3,3 cm, plus seven straight lines on the right, each 2,8 cm long and

5 open at the end. It has a steel die or dial commonly known as the Universal. Main characteristic of this dial is: the name of town or city (Manila) is shown on top, the date in the center. Any name of the state or country (P. I. or Philippines) is indicated at the bottom inside the dial. This is distinguished from the dial of the Doremus machine slogan cancels mentioned before. The dial of the Doremus shows the town or city (Manila) and the state or country (P. I.) on top but the year at the bottom in the dial. This type is known as the International. Since the introduction of the Universal machine slogan cancels in the Philippines, it s interesting to observe at least 36 different types were utilized. Twenty-seven of them were used by the Manila Post Office, five by the Cebu Post Office, and one by the U.S. Navy in Cavite. Out of the 27 different types used by the Manila Post Office, however, two of them were plain boxed slogan cancels, i.e., without the usual seven straight lines used as Killers. Likewise it s interesting to observe, some of these slogan cancels as used by the Manila Post Office, were used as Backstamps. This was especially true in the late 30 s. True enough, their use as such was also witnessed until outbreak of the Pacific War. Then too, since the Republic up to the present, some postal slogans are being used as backstamps. Obviously, it s an established postal precedent. The Universal machine slogan cancels were used by the Manila Post Offic for several years. Some of them went into use for eleven years until the outbreak of the Pacific War. When the Japanese Occupation came, however, their use was discarded except for one. It was the slogan cancel bearing the legend: POST -YOUR MAIL -EARLY in caps in three lines. It s First Day Use during Occupation was March 4, It was an occasion of the First Day Sale of the first provisional issues of the Philippines (2c and 16c postage stamps and 2c postal card), released during the early month of the Occupation. Use of its slogan cancel lasted for three years until the last days of the Japanese Occupation of Manila. Latest date seen was Feb. 3, 1945, the same day the U.S. Armed Forces liberated Manila. Among the Universal machine slogan cancels used in the Philippines, I believe the slogan cancel POST - YOUR MAIL - EARLY as described above, is the most historical. Its historical significance lies in the fact not that it was used for 14 consecutive years ( ) and bears the longest record of service, but it saw postal service in three different regimes of the Philippines, namely: the American Administration, the Commonwealth transition and the Japanese Occupation. Considering this fact in the postal history of the Philippines, therefore it deserves a niche to remember by. Type of Machine Dials In discussing the machine slogan cancels of the Universal type, mention of the dials of these cancels should also be made. Dials of the Universal type used in 1930 to 1945 have two types. So with the box enclosing the slogans. The dial used in 1939 bears the inscription MANILA on top and PHILIPPINES at the bottom in the die. The type used prior and after 1939 has MANILA on top but P. I. instead of PHILIPPINES at the bottom. The same dial used in 1939 is also used at present by the Manila Post Office on its machine cancel but without any slogan. As to the box of the slogans, at least each of them has two types: one without any break in the frame and the other with two breaks on the vertical frame on the left. In the addition to this, there are also some varieties in the size of the box. Also in the types of the letters of the slogans. Boxed Types--Handstamps Prolifically used during the present Republic are the slogan cancels of the Boxed type. All of them are handstamps. Since the liberation up to the present writing, at least 48 different postal slogans have been used by the Bureau of Posts, out of which, 44 were of the Boxed type. Their use covers a periode of five years and five months (May 1, 1945 to October 31, 1950) or an average of practically twelve slogans a year, or one slogan a month. At the outset, this is a striking contrast to the past. In fact, in no history of the Philippines such number of slogans had been used within such a short time. This however, could be appreciated by considering the fact that since the introduction of the postal slogans in the Philippines in 1908, and their use up to early in 1945, or within a period of 37 years, at least 82 postal slogans only were used by the Bureau of Posts. Whereas, since the liberation up to the present Republic, ( ), or within a period of five years, 48 different postal slogans have been used by the Bureau of Posts, not to mention their use in a wider latitude. In making this comparative statement, however, I shall try to explain here. How the Bureau of Posts could account such a record-breaking number of postal slogans within a short period, in all likelihood it could be attributed to the fact that, since the creation of the Philatelic Division of the Bureau of Posts on October 4, 1947, the Philippine postal authorities became more sympathetic and cooperative to the stamp collecting public. Such attitude is reflected by the services rendered by the Philatelic Division to stamp collectors. By this token and in its earnest desire to disseminate the recreative and cultural values of philately as a universal avocation, the Philatelic Division has embarked on a series of philatelic promotions. Such promotions are done in some of the most effective media, among them, the press, radio and postal slogans. The frequent use of postal slogans by the Bureau of Posts is done not as a mere caprice. They are used only, as I have observed, whenever

6 they warrant. Warranted as they are, this I believe is the basic reason for the record breaking number of postal slogans used by the Burau of Posts within such a short space of time. Introduction of the Boxed slogan cancels, however, was seen not during the present Republic. Long before World War II, the first slogan cancel type was introduced by the Manila Post Office. It was in late Apparently it was 20 years before the last World War. Worthy to note, it was also the first postal slogan cancel of the Philippines in which the slogan comes before the townmark. It has a legend reading: JOIN THE - RED - CROSS, all caps with serifs in three lines with a cross in heavy bars between the words RED and CROSS. This inscription is boxed in a rectangle, 1 x 3,3 cm, and the townmark has a frame in double circle, 3,4 cm in diameter. Applied by handstamp in black, earliest date seen of this forerunner of the boxed slogan cancels of the Philippines was Nov. 4, Another pre-war boxed handstamp-slogan used by the Bureau of Posts was in It was used on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the College of San Juan de Letran. The Manila Post Office was the user. Boxed in a rectangle and applied in purple, wording of the slogan reads: SAN JUAN DE LETRAN - TRICENTENNIAL - DEC , 1930 all in caps in three lines. Earliest date seen was Nov. 11, In addition to the two pre-war slogan cancels of the Boxed type as described before, another postal slogan of the Boxed type was used in It was used in Iloilo, Iloilo. Enclosed in a rectangle of 2 x 5,7 cm with a wavy frame, its inscription is: INAUGURATION - CITY OF ILOILO - JULY 16, 1937, all in caps in three lines. It was applied by handstamp in purple. This postal slogan however, was not a slogan cancel. It was a plain postal slogan. In other words, it was used separately from the townmark. Earliest date seen on a commercial cover was July 16, In all likelihood, it was used by the Iloilo Post Office for one day only, in connection with the inauguration of the City of Iloilo. By its appearance, in the strict philatelic sense, it s more of a cachet than a postal slogan. Nevertheless, its inclusion in this monograph is for collectors of postal slogans to evaluate its merits. Single-Letter Slogan Cancel The honor of having used the first slogan cancel of the Philippines after the Second World War, goes to the Post Office of Fabrica, Negros Occidental. It was used early in 1946 and applied by handstamp in black. It s unboxed. But unlike the standard slogan cancellations, it has no inscription at all, except a big letter V, measuring 2 x 2,2 cm. The letter V in this instance, stands for Victory. It s interesting to note, similar slogan cancels were used in the United States, England and Canada during the hectic years of World War II. Prominently displayed in the center, the letter V in the subject slogan cancel, is supported by five straight horizontal lines on both sides of the letter. Earliest date seen of this forerunner of the postwar slogan cancels of the Philippines was Mar. 25, First Boxed Type-Republic Enlisting as the first boxed slogan cancel of the Republic of the Philippines was the slogan used by the Manila Post Office in October It has a legend reading: HELP THE - PHILIPPINE RED CROSS, all in caps in three lines, with the ensignia of the Red Cross in the second line. While this slogan cancel was applied by handstamp in black, its existance in purple - as well as in purple black, is also known. Thus, as far as its color is concerned, it has as least three types. First Day Use of this slogan cancel was on October 28, 1946, and last day was on November 28, 1946, exactly one month. Its use however, was not only as a slogan cancel, but also as a backstamp. And as a backstamp, it was applied only on domestic air mail letters.

7 Boxed Types-Purely Philatelic What may be considered as purely philatelic in legend, are the two slogan cancels used by the Manila Post Office in October One of them bears the slogan: COLLECTING STAMPS - IS EDUCATIONAL & - CULTURAL HOBBY. The other is: COLLECT STAMPS - BE A STAMP -- COLLECTOR NOW. Both of which are all in caps sans serifs in three lines. First Day Use of both slogans was on October 19, It was on the occasion of the Ladies Day of the Philippine Philatelic Club, Manila. Last day use was on October 25, Both slogan cancels were also used as backstamps on interisland air mail received at the Manila Post Office. Another slogan cancel used by the Manila Post Office and purely philatelic in its legend saw postal service in April Its slogan reads: COLLECT STAMPS - ORGANIZE A - STAMP CLUB IN YOUR COMMUNITY, all in caps sans serifs in four lines. April 16, 1948 was it s First Day Use and May 15, 1948 was the last day. Too, it was used as a backstamp on local air mail letters received at the Manila Post Office. Since the Philippines became an independent nation, during the past four years, several chartered cities in this country were created. Among these chartered cities, which upon its inauguration was honored by the Bureau of Posts with a commemorative slogan cancellation, there was the City of Dagupan. Legend of this slogan reads: A NEW CITY IS - BORN, all in caps sans serifs in two lines. It s boxed. Before the slogan, it has a circular townmark with the inscription: DAGUPAN CITY - JAN PHILIPPINES, all in caps sans serifs in five lines, plus two stars in the third line. Applied by handstamp, use of this slogan cancel was for one day only. This is according to Cesar V. Callanta, the Father of the Idea of this commemorative slogan cancel. Incidentally, Mr. Callanta is a supervising teacher in the public schools of Dagupan by profession, and a serious student of Philippine stamps by avocation. Fancy Types In no history of philatelic Philippines, Fancy slogan cancels have been so extensively used since the past three years. Fancy as they are and conveying the logic of the slogans at random, they easily arrest one s attention and prove interest. Doubly interesting, the Bureau of Posts has been using these Fancy slogan cancels, not only on occasions of national significance but also for some events of international scope worthy of commemorating. Among the interesting of the Fancy types, there are those used for the UNAC (March 16/1948); Aviation Week, (Dec. 12/1948); Long Live The Republic (July 4/1949); Jaycee International World Congress (Type I, Aug. 1/ 1949 and Type II, Aug 16/1949); Education Week (Sep. 12/1949); Community Chest (Dec. 16/1949); Liberation Day Agricultural School (Feb. 7/1950); First Anniversary Manila Lions Club (Mar. 23/1950) and the Fish Conservation Day (Oct. 22/1950). In addition to this, there are also the two different types of postal slogans of the Philatelic Division of the Bureau of Posts, used expressly for philatelic promotion. One of them was used early in October 1948 and the other was used early in The former was applied in green and the latter in purple. In design and legend, both are invitations to the ubiquitous hobby of stamp collecting.

8 To enable collectors of Philippine postal slogans to have a ready reference of this specialty, I have prepared a Check List, listing these postal slogans chronologically.
