Philippines Post released a special set of stamps depicting dragonflies, locally known as “tutubi”. The issue was released in time for the celebration of PHLPost’s 23rd corporate anniversary on April 06.

“Dragonflies are generally stronger and more robust. It also highlights PHLPost radical transformation from a “snail mail” to a fast and efficient express mail door to door delivery service”, Postmaster General Josie Dela Cruz said.
