Notes on the New 100-Peso Banknote

In December 2010, the New Generation Banknote Series of the Philippine peso were released. Same with the New Design / Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Series, the 100-peso bill features Manuel A. Roxas, the first president of the independent Third Republic of the Philippines.

The obverse side of the New Design / BSP Series 100-peso bill features the lowering of the American flag and the raising of the Philippine flag. The reverse side depicts the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (Central Bank) Complex. .

Same with other New Generation Banknote Series peso bills, the obverse side of the new 100-peso bill seems to show a "younger" Roxas. Aside from the inauguration of the Third Philippine Republic, this 100-peso bill also shows La Intendencia, or the old Central Bank building in Manila. The reverse side of the New Generation Banknote Series 100-peso bill features images of the Mayon Volcano in Albay province, whale shark (Rhincodon typus), and a portion of Bicol weave design.
