The Philippines International Fair was held in Manila from February 1 to April 20, 1953. Within its fair grounds
were booths for the exhibition of the industrial and agricultural
products of the different provinces of the Philippines as well as of
foreign countries. Aside from side shows and various other attractions,
the fair and exposition had an amusement zone divided into four
compounds, the biggest attractions therein being the "Aquacade Show" and
the "Xavier Cugat Show". In addition, there was a large auditorium
where balls and dances were held.
The Bureau of Posts issued a cacheted stamped envelope on February 1 and a set of commemorative stamps on April 30 to commemorate the Fair.
