Jolen (marbles), Piko (hopscotch), Tumbang preso (knock down the prisoner), and

our childhood favorite every end of October , the Saranggola (kite). 


these games featuring the all-time pinoy favorites like “bahay-bahayan and bato-bato-pik” 

popular games when we are young, before the era of  gadget tech inspired games 

of the 90s.

PHLPost has printed a total of 100K copies of the four different design of the 

stamps sold for P12.00, P14.00, P15.00, P17.00 each. A special 5,000 pieces of the 

“limited collector souvenir sheet stamps” were also printed to be sold at P100 each.
