It is also the desire of the author that seedlings of this century -old duhat tree would be propagated in order that the future generations would remember how Tandang Sora ( Grandmother of Philippine Revolution) scarified her life for the causes of the revolution.
Congratulations on your blog’s new look!
Thanks! This is my 4th time to change the blog format
mr. lawrence 3 weeks from now my grandmothers stamp collection is gonna be here in the Phil. its an album of 16th century stamps.. im thinking if you would want to buy it.
BTW, please try to make research about stamp collection. The world’s first stamp was issued by Great Britain in May 1840 – Black Penny. There is no country in the entire world which issued stamps in the 16th century.
There are letters, mail and documents which dates back to the 16th century but stamp from the 16th century ??? It maybe a hoax. Or was it 19th century ???
Buying is another “thing” , let us first evaluate the stamps ( condition, rarity , where did it come from ? Baka nakaw iyan ? that is anti-fencing law . You already texted me, We will just wait and see if your grandmother’s stamps are really from the 16th century etc… .
Thanks
