Notes
Tête-bêche pair of the two surcharged designs on white paper
Series history
The Philippines overprinted stocks of the 1959 10th World Jamboree issue for the 2nd National Boy Scout Jamboree at Pasonanca Park, Zamboanga, released at Manila on 2 May 1961. The overprint reads 2nd National Boy Scout Jamboree · Pasonanca Park, with new face values surcharged on the old.
Two singles belong to the basic set: a black surcharge and overprint on the red 6 + 4 centavos camp-fire design, raising it to 10 centavos (90,000 printed, panes of fifty, yellow paper); and a red surcharge and overprint on the blue 25 + 5 centavos archery design, raising it to 30 centavos (also 90,000, panes of fifty, yellow paper).
A tête-bêche pair of the two designs was issued on white paper, 100,000 pairs in panes of forty. Official Business overprints with the letters O.B. are also recorded.
