MANILA, 12 February (PIA) - The Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) will release today commemorative stamps featuring the Birth Centenary of Lamberto V. Avellana, National Artist for Theater and Film.
"PHLPost pays tribute to National Artist Lamberto Avellana and his contribution to the preservation and promotion of the arts in our country and to the world,” Postmaster General Josie Dela Cruz said.
The release of commemorative stamps is also in time for the celebration of National Arts Month this February, which aims to promote the local culture and arts scene through a festive showcase of Filipino talents in the regions.
Avellana was the first to use the motion picture camera to establish a point-of-view, a move that revolutionized the techniques of film narration. In his first film “Sakay,” Avellana demonstrated a kind of visual rhythm that established a new filmic language.
According to PHLPost, around 65,000 pieces of the commemorative stamp were printed at P10.00 each. The design was coordinated by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines.
The stamps are now available at the Post Shop, Philately and Museum Division, Manila Central Post Office, Door 203, Liwasang Bonifacio Manila. (PHLPOST/RJB/JEG/PIA-NCR)
