Colleagues, I am surprised - there is a mistake in the name of the country on the label. The inscription "HPILIPPINES" Maybe it's not an authentic label?

It is quite odd that there is a mistake in the text- I feel as if such a mistake would not be made when printing, if the label is authentic. Of course, any kind of mistake can happen. I would expect for the mistake to be in the design, though. But how and why would someone make a fake banana label?

This is an official label

This is an official label from the Philippines. I doubt it would be for the Chinese market, although I wouldn't rule it out...
Misprints have appeared in many collecting fields, even on official postage stamps, which are very carefully controlled...
There is not the slightest reason to pass it off as fake.
