This is part of a sheet featuring two of the four designs from an issue from November 2017. The 16th century Galleon and the 18th century &#8220;bagadero&#8221;(?) on horseback.

The park is named for Jos\u00e9 Rizal. I had to admit my ignorance here, but he was a very important figure in the history of the Philippines. He was a novelist, poet, essayist and playwright. His writings and political activism gave energy to the revolution that gave rise to the country&#8217;s independence, but not before the Spanish authorities had executed Rizal. He is now considered a National Hero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a lighter note, also enclosed was this mini-sheet featuring the art of Larry Alcala (1926-2002), a celebrated illustrator and cartoonist.
