February 21, 2025 The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas is proud to present the First Philippine Polymer (FPP) Banknote Series. Available in four denominations, the FPP Banknote Series showcases smarter, cleaner, and stronger features than their paper counterpart. The 1000-piso polymer banknote features not one but two of the country’s symbols—the Philippine eagle and the Sampaguita. It also shows on the reverse side the Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park and native South Sea pearl. The 500-piso polymer banknote spotights a pair of endemic and threatened flora and fauna in the Philippines—the Visayan spotted deer and Acanthephippium mantinianum. It also shows on the reverse side the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park and the native and critically endangered Blue-naped parrot. The 100-piso polymer banknote highlights the majestic Palawan peacock-pheasant together with Ceratocentron fesselii, an endemic and critically endangered orchid in the Philippines. On the reverse side, it also shows the Mayon volcano and the native and endangered whale shark or butanding. The 50-piso polymer banknote showcases another endemic and threatened flora and fauna in the Philippines—the Visayan leopard cat and Vidal’s lanutan. It also shows on the reverse side the Taal Lake and the native maliputo fish. The 1,000-piso, 500-piso, 100-piso, and 50-piso polymer banknotes are part of the First Philippine Polymer (FPP) Banknote Series, which will circulate alongside the existing paper banknotes.
