JapOcc 13: souvenir sheet


And, a semi-postal souvenir sheet of the National Heroes stamps was issued on February 9, 1944, the 107th birth anniversary of Jose Burgos.

Printed locally by lithography on unwatermarked paper, imperforate, and issued without gum. Printing quantity: 200,000. It was sold at the post office for ₱1. The extra amount went to a fund for care of heroes' monuments.
Interestingly, on the sheet it reads REPUBLIKA NG PILIPINAS whereas on the three stamps the NG has a tilde above, the old way of writing it.
