| Comments |
The Philippines' shift to polymer for its highest circulating denomination was driven partly by counterfeiting pressure on the cotton-paper series and partly by the note's punishing circulation life in a tropical, high-humidity environment where paper notes degraded rapidly. Polymer survives that climate considerably better. Note Printing Australia, which has supplied polymer substrates and printed notes for dozens of central banks since the 1990s, handles production in Melbourne.
The TBB#1102 designation places this within the New Generation Currency series. Polymer 1000 Piso notes have shown the characteristic issue of ink adhesion under sustained folding — a known trade-off with the format that the BSP has acknowledged in public procurement documents.
