Dear friends,
We are in Manila staying at the Manila Hotel. We have two bed rooms and a sitting room facing the Bay on the 2nd floor. We are having a fine time here. Met a Mr. Jones who lets us have his card and driver every day. Leave tomorrow for Singapore. It is nice and hot here, but we do not mind it as we have a wonderful room with three big fans going and corner rooms all open. Love, John, Pearl and Pat
Philippines (Philippine Islands, United States of America) Stamp - 2 Centavos
I found two people who listed this at 1917, but it is postmarked in 1936, so I don't know if it is that old or not.

José Protasio Rizal Mercado (June 19, 1861 – December 30, 1896), was a Filipino patriot and the most prominent advocate for reforms in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial era. He is considered a national hero of the Philippines, and the anniversary of Rizal's death is commemorated as a Philippine holiday called Rizal Day. Rizal's 1896 military trial and execution made him a martyr of the Philippine Revolution.
