Just this afternoon at Sanggunian Panglungsod ng Dabaw hallway I have a great time looking at the stamps,coins, and bills from the great collections of Mr. Rene Adapon.
RENE ADAPON, a numismatist for almost 30 years now. He collects from stamp, coins, and bills showcasing this time from different women and their advocacy in commemoration of INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY month.
March 8 to be exact is the International Women's Day. His exhibit started last Monday and will end tomorrow, March 15.
So glad that I got to see THE FIRST EXHIBIT IN THE PHILIPPINES: THE FIRST WOMAN ON STAMP, COINS and BILLS happened only here in Davao City. And proudly showcasing a once in a a lifetime information about our great woman with great advocacy, fighting for the rights of woman internationally.
Collections of stamps, coins, and bills way back Spanish colonial period, revolutionary period, American regime, Japanese and Philippine Republic.
Little did we know that there is a paper money for TANDANG SORA 100 peso bill, was never circulated in Philippine currency due to the fact that the only money(highest income) that being given to the Filipino that time is PHp50. So they remove the 100 peso bill and make it a CENTAVO(that time sentimos has BIG VALUE) in Philippine currencies.
And he had also coins and bills from different countries.
He had a collection of stamps of our two former Ms. Universe.
I've learned so much from him, very educational and informative. Great collections indeed.
Have a great time chatting with Mr. Rene Adapon, and he made this shot for me. Thanks sir for allowing me to have a nice interview with you.
So, to all DABAWENYOS out there who haven't visited the exhibit you have until tomorrow afternoon. VISIT NOW!
