Nueva Vizcaya's wartime emergency notes occupy a specific and well-documented corner of Philippine guerrilla currency. Issued under Commonwealth authority during the Japanese occupation, these provincial notes were produced locally with whatever materials were at hand — quality varied dramatically, and many examples suffered accelerated deterioration from the paper stock used.
Demetrio Quirino's signature here is the connection most collectors note: he was the brother of Elpidio Quirino, who would become President of the Philippines in 1948. The family had deep roots in Ilocos Sur and Cagayan Valley politics, which explains the provincial appointment during the resistance period.
S794 is among the more attainable Nueva Vizcaya issues, though signatures vary across the series.
