| Comments |
The Negros Occidental Currency Committee was one of several provincial emergency bodies that authorized local scrip after the Japanese invasion disrupted the Philippine monetary system in late 1941 and early 1942. This note was printed by Filma Press — a local commercial printer with no prior currency production history — under wartime conditions that left quality control inconsistent across the run. With over twelve million pieces printed, the issue was large by guerrilla-scrip standards, yet genuine attrition from the occupation years means intact survivors are less common than the print figure implies.
Philippine National Bank's name appears on the note by authorization rather than direct issuance — the actual administrative authority rested with the provincial committee.
