VERY SCARCE ORIGIN
THE 5TH COVER THAT I KNOW OF ORIGINATING FROM MALABANG

STILL DEEMED AS RARE EVEN WITH THREE ON HAND

Three spectacular commercial covers. The origins and their proper usage must be noted specially the above from Malabang, Mindanao.  I have handled three covers in the past but all were "philatelic".
