THE Philippine Basketball Association closes its 50th anniversary celebration with the launching of its golden commemorative stamp.
Commissioner Willie Marcial said the league has agreed on the special project with Philpost and Postmaster General Maximo ‘Maxi’ Sta. Maria III where two commemorative postage stamps will be launched in December celebrating the league’s golden season.
The launching will be in time for the semifinals and finals of the season-ending Governors’ Cup.
“This is a special honor, not just for the league, but for our players, teams and generations of fans. These collectible stamps celebrate five decades of basketball, unforgettable moments, and the Filipino passion for the game,” said Marcial in a statement.
“We thank PhilPost for helping preserve the PBA’s legacy through Philippine postage stamps. We look forward to sharing this piece of basketball history with our fans and stamp collectors.”
The commemorative stamps were the latest to be bestowed involving the PBA.
In 2021, the Philpost issued a similar special edition stamp honoring the Living Legend Robert Jaworski on his 75th birthday.
Less than a year later, it was the turn of four-time MVP and PBA’s all-time leading scorer Ramon Fernandez to be honored with his own limited edition stamps.
