Welcome! This is the maiden issue of the Philippine Philatelic Issues Digest. I have collated all previous e-mails to me and respective responses, regarding the state of philately in the Philippines, my web site at GeoCities and other things.

If you have received this mailing, you are part of the beta group, a privileged few, which I have randomly chosen from the list of my contacts who would likely want to be part of this discussion list. There is no obligation on your part, but you must signify to receive future issues. Otherwise, you shall NOT receive succeeding issues.

For the time being, this PPI Digest would be issued on a quarterly basis. It would truly depend on the number of subscribers as well as the number of posts. As these factors escalate, the frequency of issuance shall also be modified to suit the need.
