Issued on 20 June 1943 to celebrate 350 years of printing in the Philippines. The stamp is a regular issue, surcharged and overprinted with the word "Limbagan" which is Filipino for printing and the dates 1593-1943



The Philippines were under Japanese occupation so the accompanying First Day Covers carry the stamp of the Japanese Military Police Censor.






Tomás Pinpin was the first Philippine printer and is sometimes referred as the "Prince of the Filipino Printers."
