This pair of stamps, Scott Nos. 580 and 581 were issued for the above named exhibition in Manila on November 16. I thought they were particularly striking and thought you would all enjoy them. They depict Maria Clara, a character from a book by Jose Rizal, a national, cultural hero of the Philippines. If you wish to read more about Maria Clara, there is a good wikipedia article here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar%C3%ADa_Clara
