Community Unity, Strength, Peace and Security

Philippines · 1951 · 5c

A set of four commemorative stamps, each depicting an allegorical representation of 'Unity' (shaking hands), 'Strength' (arm with torch), 'Peace' (dove), and 'Security' (shield with sword and scales).

Issued five years after the Philippines gained independence, this set reflects the young nation's aspirations for social cohesion, stability, and prosperity in the post-WWII era.
