It's not a cancel but intended to be part of the imprint/inscription.

It's supposed to read "Koyo/kouyou" (we don't have characters with macrons here, but pronounced more like ''kawwyaww'), reading L to R, meaning "official business". It's supposed to look like this:

That's not any kind of fast scribble but (probably) the work of a clerk who did not know how to write Japanese and was copying the best he could. There is a direction and order to writing characters and this wasn't done here.

Surely this must be original as should be demonstrated by being underneath the machine cancel.

Interesting piece. I don't know why the handwritten part was needed since the stamp was already overprinted as an official (in Tagalog), but there it is.

Won't it just be "Passed by the Censor, Japanese Military Police" in Japanese?
