PHLPost commemorative stamp honors teachers

THE Philippine Postal Corp. (PHLPost) has issued commemorative stamps to recognize the invaluable contributions of the country's teachers.

The commemorative stamps were presented in time for this year's celebration of the National Teachers' Month (NTM).

The NTM will be observed from September 5 to October 5.

Postmaster General Luis Carlos said that through the commemorative stamps, the PHLPost pays tribute to teachers who are «vital in molding the future of the Filipino youth.»

«It is in school that they spend most of their childhood and adolescence time studying and learning new things. It is in the hands of the teachers to bring these young minds into becoming a responsible and productive citizen of this country,» Carlos said.

«We say thank you to our teacher for accepting the hard role of not just being a teacher but also a parent to us. You will continuously be our model. Our inspiration to be good in whatever career we choose in life,» he added.

The commemorative stamp illustrates a teacher empowering learners to develop their full potential to create a brighter future for everyone.
