the groups based on the needs and goals of the various groups. These local issues served as a form of unification of various groups in the Canton de la Isle de Negros and the formation of a common postal system was a welcome development. As more
insurgent groups joined in the collaboration, most, but not all, saw the benefits of allying with the Aguinaldo government. <BR><BR>Initially, persons in possession of these stamps were subject to execution by Spanish authorities and most
of the stamps were burned or destroyed and there are no genuine covers franked with these provisionals known. Also unknown is how many different stamps were issued, the quantities printed or the survival rate. (see online scans) (Image1) (Image1)
