The Myanmar Philatelic Society launched the quarterly publication of the brand-new "The Burma StaMPS" journal in 2022, which also serves as the society's newsletter. The journal is edited by Ko Toe, who hopes that publishing it in the Burmese language will attract new collectors to the hobby of philately and keep the society active and engaged.
Each issue contains 20 pages and is printed in full color. The final issue of each year, released in October, features a captivating compilation of articles centered around a single theme. In 2024, the chosen theme is "Maximaphily," aimed at introducing members to the creation and collection of maximum cards.
In 2024, four issues were published in January, April, July, and October. Digital copies of the journal are distributed to MPS members free of charge. The editor has compiled the four issues, along with a contents list, author index, subject index, and post office index, into a softbound printed book, comprising a total of 108 pages.
The first two volumes of "The Burma StaMPS" journal have received the following awards:
Volume 1: Silver Bronze (TAIPEI 2023, FIAP), Silver (THAILAND 2023, FIP)
Volume 2: Silver Bronze (JAKARTA 2024, FIAP), Silver (CHINA 2024, FIAP)
