The third and final installment of the pictorial definitive stamp series was issued on August 1, 1947, consisting of a 4c value featuring the Rizal Monument and a 1p stamp with the "Colonnade of Palms" image used on the 50c value issued earlier in the year.

In 1901, construction of a monument to honour Jose Rizal was approved
by the United States Philippine Commission. Unveiled in 1913, the Rizal
Monument in Luneta Park, Manila, consists of a standing bronze sculpture of
Rizal, with an obelisk as a backdrop, set on a pedestal upon which his
remains are interred.
