On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Kingdom of Morocco and the Republic of the Philippines, Barid Al-Maghrib and Philippine Postal Corporation announce the launch of a joint postage program.
The ceremony of unveiling of this special program was held on Wednesday April 09, 2025 at the Barid Al-Maghrib museum in Rabat, in the presence of his excellence Leslie J. Baja, ambassador of the Republic of the Philippines in Morocco, of Mr. Amin Benjelloun Touimi, Director General of the Barid Al-Maghrib group, as well as several other personalities.
This common program, the fruit of philatelic cooperation between the two postal institutions, highlights modern architecture through a series of two postage stamps illustrating emblematic airport infrastructures.
Thus, the Moroccan stamp represents Marrakech-Ménara airport, an architectural masterpiece which combines modernity and Moroccan traditions, while the Philippin stamp highlights Mactan-Cebu International Airport, a symbol of Philippines dynamism and innovation in the airport field.
Airports, as entry points to other countries and cultures, are windows of the architectural and technological know-how of each nation. This common program thus underlines the attachment of Morocco and the Philippines to the values of openness, innovation and development.
Barid Al-Maghrib, through this new philatelic program, reaffirms his commitment to celebrate the diplomatic and cultural ties of the kingdom thanks to the postage stamp, a true witness to the history and heritage of the nations.
