THE Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) on Saturday released a new design of the P1,000-denominated banknote.
“For the record, here’s how the new P1,000-piso would look like. It was designed by BSP and approved by NHI (National Historical Institute). Its issuance has been approved by the Monetary Board and the Office of the President,” BSP Governor Benjamin Diokno told reporters in a Viber group message.
The new design of the P1,000 banknote, which will be for the limited polymer bills to be released next year, features the Philippine eagle in front, replacing heroes Vicente Lim, Josefa Llanes Escoda, and Jose Abad Santos.
Asked why the personalities in the banknote were replaced in the new design, Diokno said, “The new series will focus on fauna and flora in the Philippines.”
“Target release will be on the fourth week of April 2022,” the central bank chief said.
