Manila, Philippines – The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) launched the 5,000-Piso Commemorative Banknote Bill on January 17, 2021. After almost three (3) months since it was launched, the banknote finally made into public and surfaced online.
According to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), the commemorative banknote was launched to honor the heroism of Lapu-Lapu and also to celebrate 500th anniversary of his victory in the Battle of Mactan.
The 5,000 peso bill is only available for purchase and not use for the circulation by the public as this bill is a legal tender.
This is the highest denomination that was issued in the country so far and a second highest currency denomination ever issued by the BSP after the 1998 limited edition of P100,000 bill made for the Philippines centennial year.
