The Philippine one hundred-peso note (₱100) is a denomination of Philippine currency. Philippine president Manuel Roxas is currently featured on the front side of the bill, while the Mayon Volcano and the whale shark (locally known as butanding) are featured on the reverse side.

As of February 2016, the Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas circulated new 100-peso bills which were modified to have a stronger mauve or violet color.[3]

History

Pre-independence history

Post-independence history

Roxas first appeared on the one hundred peso bill upon the release of the Pilipino series notes in 1969.

Design errors

The banknote became the subject of controversy in 2005 after banknotes printed by Oberthur Technologies of France in time for the Christmas season were printed with the President's name misspelled, the first in Philippine history. The banknotes, of which a small amount are still in circulation and are still legal tender, spelled the President's name as "Gloria Macapagal-Arrovo" versus the correct Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. The incident was subsequently the subject of public humor as soon as the issue made national headlines. The BSP probed the mistake and corrected the error afterwards.[5]

Commemorative issues

Throughout its existence, the one hundred peso bill have been overprinted to commemorate certain events, namely:

Philippine Centennial overprint.
