ABS-CBN reporter Warren De Guzman posted a photo of the two P100 bill on his official Twitter account and asks his followers whether they can tell which one is the new 100 peso bill. The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas announced that they will replace the P100 bills next year following complaints that it looks similar to the P1,000 bill.
The new P100 bill will be circulated starting on January 2016 but the old P100 bills won’t be domonetized. There is only a slight difference with the new and old 100 peso bill.
Bangko Sentral noted that the new P100 bill will have a darker shade of purple to differentiate it from the bluish hue of P1,000 bill.
BSP Deputy Deputy Governor Diwa Guinigundo, meanwhile, said there will be no more changes in the other denominations, and advised the public to instead be more careful when paying and receiving cash.
For the past few months, the BSP keeps on informing the Filipino public that the demonetization process for the old peso bills started on January 1, 2015 and will end December 31, 2015.
