Due to operational requirements and to dispose of the Philippine Centennial Prestige Booklets issued in 1998 which are being sold at a 50% premium over face values and which includes 5 booklet panes with denominations that are mostly obsolete by now, the Philippine Postal Corporation will issue four stamps from the booklets surcharged to current international mail rates.

The 5 booklet panes were detached from the booklets along the rouletting at left and the panes with a block of 4 P4 stamps, a P16 Rizal stamp, a P16 Bonifacio stamp and a block of 4 P8 stamps were surcharged with the new values. The P20 stamp from the last pane was removed from the pane and will be sold for postage use as is, since it's still a usable denomination.
