Issued in 1988 by the Philippines, this ₱1 commemorative stamp honors the Fourth Centennial (1588–1988) of Malate, one of Manila’s oldest districts. The design features the iconic Malate Church (Nuestra Señora de los Remedios), a historic baroque landmark facing Manila Bay. The artwork highlights the church’s intricate façade, symbolizing four centuries of faith and cultural heritage in the Malate community. A graceful blend of history and architecture, this issue reflects national pride in Manila’s enduring colonial and spiritual legacy.
