The Philippines began transitioning its higher denominations to polymer substrate in the mid-2020s, following a pattern established by other central banks in Southeast Asia seeking to reduce counterfeiting and extend note lifespan — polymer typically outlasts paper by a factor of two to four times in tropical circulation conditions. Note Printing Australia has held the BSP contract continuously since 1998, making it one of the longer-running single-printer relationships in the region.
Seal type 7 reflects the current BSP corporate seal revision. The TBB reference number places this among the most recently catalogued Philippine issues.
