"No other Filipino has been honored on our stamps more than our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal. Since 1906, more than one hundred portraits about his life and works have consistently been included either as the main design, or as part of, of Philippine stamps. Philatelists claim that stamps are ideal tools of learning, and a careful study of their designs could teach well a country's history. And since Rizal's life has been romantically linked to our very rich cultural traditions, the hundreds of regular, commemorative and special Rizal issues could then be used as perfect representation of our country's proud heritage. This book is a simple memorabilia of the life and works of our national hero as portrayed on Philippine stamps featuring only the most common and recent issues. All pictures are in full color and the real stamps could be mounted on them thus making this book a stamp album as well. Dr. Jose Rizal's centenary of martyrdom issues and the ASEANPEX '96 set are properly mentioned in this book. If the real stamps are mounted, this book could then be considered also as an actual souvenir of these 2 biggest events of 1996. I believe more Rizaliana stamps will be printed in the future. It is my hope that this work serve as an inspiration for our Postal Administrations to continue this wonderful crusade of promoting a young filipino's life and works academics proudly call "the Pride of the Malay Race" -Excerpts from the Introduction.
