National Teacher's Month 2019

Date of Issue : 5 September 2019

Here is a new beautiful setanant pair issued by PHL Post on 5th September featuring "My Teacher My Hero". Coincidenatally in India Teacher's is also celebrated on 5th September and in Philippines National Teacher's month starts from  5th September to October 05, 2019. It is the 11th year of Celebration of the National Teachers' Month. This set of  stamps portrays love and respect between a teacher and student as well as a great value for the  teaching profession.

The special se-tenant pair (two different designs and face value join together) stamps depicts the logo of “My Teacher, My Hero”, “Excellent!”, and “Thank you, teacher” stamped on the outreached hand of a teacher. The hand in the stamp is being described as the teacher stamped with a seal of Excellence for being our heroes and helping reach our dreams.

Some of the strategies that a teacher will do to inspire her student to excel is by stamping the hand with a star whenever they do something good in school. A teacher will surely award a student with a star.

This year’s theme is “I Teach, That’s My Superpower”. The Metrobank Foundation, Inc. and the Department of Education (DepEd) are in partnership with PHLPost and other organizations to uphold the initiative of giving back due recognition for teachers as humble heroes shaping the minds of the nation. Through PHLPost annual “Salamat Po Letter Writing Competition”, students are encouraged to recognize their teachers and other role models through the art of letter-writing.
