BATANGAS INBOUND MAIL
This cover is dated October 27, 1943 from Kumamoto-ken (Prefecture) to a Wada Isamu, Governor's Office, Machi Street, Batangas, Philippines. Front with blue crayon "Batangas" manuscript endorsement.

I believe this cover did not pass through the civil postal system but was delivered privately. Blue crayon endorsement most likely applied by the Department of Interior as they kept track of Japanese personnel seconded to the civil government.
