The listing, Death by Execution has ended.
Military Execution Official Business MNH
Winner receives 2 stamps, both are MNH Mint Never Hinged with original shiny gum on backside (see last photos) both are overprinted with the letters O. B. (Official Business), both are Philippines however the green stamp is also United States of American Commonwealth of the Philippines as follows:
Green Stamp: Jose Rizal

Blue Stamp: Father Jose Burgos

Note: Scott Catalog only lists the overprints that were issued by the Post Office. Individual government officials / departments were permitted to make their own overprints. The OP styles can vary considerably (same stamp with the same overprint but placed on different areas of the stamp, different sizes, font types etc.) making these types of overprints vary desireable by some collectors.
