JULY 8: BACOLOD to MANILA

Although INAEC inaugurated the Bacolod to Manila flight on May 26, 1933 (AAMC #95e) commercial covers of this particular leg are rare.

Air mail postage on this Special Delivery dispatched cover short paid by 2c the required 20c rate. To INAEC, they could not care less as the Bureau of Posts guaranteed the company 16c per letter carried by air. 

At the same time the Bureau of Posts did not strickly implement the 20c required franking as even after two years after the introduction of regular air mail service to and from selected points in the Philippines was it was still considered at its infancy stage and likewise a luxury to the mailing public.
