This 20 centavos stamp from the Philippine Islands, issued under United States administration, features the theme Rice Planting. It vividly depicts Filipino farmers working in flooded rice fields with a carabao plowing the soil—a classic image of rural life and agricultural tradition. Printed in orange ink, the design is framed by stalks of rice and inscribed with “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” below, reflecting the period’s colonial governance. Issued around 1932, it forms part of the “Commonwealth” definitive series celebrating the islands’ agricultural and cultural identity.
