Thoughts - New Philippine Peso Bills

     Yesterday, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas unveiled the new Philippine Peso Bills.  There are significant changes: the color saturation is deeper, the persons featured on the bills are made to look younger, way younger (President Quezon looks like in his 20's, while Presidents Osmena, Roxas and Macapagal look like in their 40's.  The new Php 500 now has President Cory Aquino, together with her husband, who happens to be the incumbent President's parents.  The dorsal of the new bills are also new.  

     I hope this helps travelers to the country not to get confused with the new bills which will be in circulation this month.
