Vibal Foundation Publishes Correos Filipinas: Philippine Stamps and Postal History

Vibal Foundation, Inc. (VFI) continues its commitment and vision to enrich Filipinos' knowledge and appreciation of Philippine history, culture, and the arts by launching  Correos Filipinas: Philippine Stamps and Postal History on January 31, 2022 at VFI’s monthly virtual tertulia.

Correos Filipinas: Philippine Stamps and Postal History

Jose Eleazar Bersales' Correos Filipinas: Philippine Stamps and Postal History (1565–1953) comprehensively presents Philippine history from the 16th to the mid-20th century through the perspective of the stamps issued and used. This newest addition to the Filipiniana Clasica collection serves as a valuable resource for specialist collectors, history buffs, and casual readers who intend to immerse themselves in understanding the colonial-era philately. 

The postal history of the Philippines reflects a decades-long colonial regime and is intertwined with native responses that came along with it. The use of stamps corresponded to the development of modern postal services that were institutionalized and supported by the state. The book encompasses a rich timeline and provides side stories and supplemental sections on postal stationery, postcards, wrappers, and envelopes for better historical context.

First-time parents Elisse and Mccoy reveal Pampers Overnight as the solution to their sleepless nights

They also shared some of their parenting struggles and promoted equal parenting with fellow parents Saab Magalona and Jim Bacarro

A few days ago, netizens and fans expressed their support to new parents Elisse Joson and Mccoy de Leon after seeing the couple’s cryptic posts on Facebook and Instagram stories, hinting that both had enough already. 

After much probing, we found that the real cause was the couple’s lack of good night sleep. While most people can relate to having sleepless nights, first-time parents like Elisse and Mccoy are nodding their heads and saying, “We hear you.”

Parents’ Partner for Uninterrupted Sleep

McLisse, in a Pampers Power Parents Show Facebook Live with Saab Magalona and Jim Bacarro on Monday, revealed that they had to wake up in the middle of the night to their daughter, Felize McKenzie, crying because of the discomfort and leaks caused by the previous diaper brand they were using. They recalled that the most difficult time for them was during Felize’s first six months – Elisse would get up in the middle of the night to feed and to change diapers multiple times. To prevent this from happening again, Elisse and Mccoy have taken shifts in changing Felize’s diapers which eventually left the couple tired, frustrated and not having enough sleep. For working parents like Elisse and Mccoy, a restful sleep is important. And when your baby is uncomfortable and does not get enough sleep, that also means that the whole family does not either.

Get Ready for Summer! 5 Fun Bonding Home Activities

Samsung Digital Appliances can make summers at home more exciting

Summer usually means heading to the beach or any outdoor destination, but families can also have fun when they’re at home. With a little creativity, imagination, and help from Samsung Digital Appliances, they can turn summer at home into a fun bonding activity for everyone.

A day outdoors means sweat and other stains, so it’s important to have a powerful washing machine to get clothes fresh and clean like the Washer Dryer Combo that uses Eco Bubble™ technology to efficiently clean clothes. Detergent is turned into bubbles, which quickly penetrates fabric to remove dirt while preserving its color and texture.
