National Heroes Day 2024

In celebration of National Heroes Day, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas honors the bravery and patriotism of Filipino heroes by highlighting the 100,000-Piso Centennial commemorative notes from its numismatic collection. This largest Philippine commemorative banknote was printed in 1998 to celebrate the centennial of Philippine Independence. The obverse of the note showcases a symbolic scene of the struggle for Philippine Independence in 1896 - the Sigaw ng Himagsikan led by Andres Bonifacio, the supremo of the Katipunan. While the reverse features the proclamation of the Philippine Independence led by Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo on 12 June 1898, in Kawit, Cavite. Only 1000 pieces of this banknote were printed.

The 100,000-Piso Centennial Commemorative Note is available as a collectible at the BSP Store.
