Start exchanging your old peso bills, they will no longer be used on ...


The old Philippine peso bills will soon be demonetized, according to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas.

The agency said that they will start withdrawing the old bank notes from circulation starting January 1, 2015.

They will be completely phased out on January 1, 2016.

This means that the old peso bills may still be used to buy goods and services in 2015 but they will no longer be accepted  for payment starting January 1, 2016.


What to do with the old peso bills?

BSP Deputy Governor Diwa C. Guinigundo said the public can still exchange their old bills for the new generation currency bank notes at banks and BSP offices and branches around the country from January 1, 2015 until end-2016.

Filipinos who live abroad will still have a chance to exchange their old notes. They may register online starting October 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015 through the BSP website.

They will be given a year from their date of registration to exchange the old bank notes at BSP offices and branches.

The demonetization of the old bank notes, Guinigundo said, will allow for the circulation of a single currency series in the Philippines -- the "new generation currency" bank notes.

The old designs had been in use since 1985, and is currently in circulation with a total of 729 million pieces and a value of P192 billion.

Saving Jobs Amid the Fuel Crisis: The Genius of Victory Liner’s ‘Bayanihan Shuttle'

When the price at the pump climbs faster than a bus on a mountain pass, most companies start looking for the "Exit" sign. But for a transport giant like Victory Liner, staying stationary wasn't an option—not when thousands of livelihoods were riding on their next move. ​ Beyond the Terminal: Victory Liner’s Bold Plan to Save Jobs ​The Philippine transport sector is currently staring down the barrel of a global oil crisis. For many, the math simply doesn't add up anymore: higher fuel costs plus fewer passengers equals a fleet that stays parked. Even industry titans aren't immune, with Victory Liner recently forced to consolidate routes and trim trip frequencies just to keep the lights on. ​However, fewer trips usually mean thinner paychecks for the people behind the wheel. Recognizing this, Victory Liner refused to let its drivers and conductors bear the brunt of the economic squeeze. Instead of downsizing, they ...

LTFRB’s Komyu-Konek Hotline: Finally, a way to report abusive PUV drivers that actually works

You know the type. The jeepney driver who treats your stop like an optional suggestion. The conductor who overcharges and dares you to complain. The bus that turns EDSA into its personal parking lot while belching black smoke into your lungs. For years, we just swallowed it and vented on Facebook because reporting felt pointless. The LTFRB just changed that. They launched Komyu-Konek, a Viber hotline that lets you report abusive PUV drivers with photos and video straight from your phone. And the kicker? They’re actually built to act on it.  Your New Superpower Against Abusive Commutes Let’s be honest. When you’ve got your own car or motorcycle, PUV problems are background noise. You’ve got AC, your playlist, and zero strangers arguing with the conductor. You leave on your time. Then fuel prices exploded. Suddenly “background noise” became your 6AM ...
