Magsaysay death anniversary

A special occasion cachet commemorating the death anniversary of President Ramon Magsaysay on March 17, 1958 was used at three post offices: Manila, Cebu and Castillejos (Zambales).

Magsaysay was born in Iba (Zambales), so there must be an explanation for Castillejos? He died in a plane crash in Cebu, and was buried in Manila.

He was 49 years old when he died.
