Macapagal Money

The picture of former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in the new 200 peso bill has been replaced by the new dominant photo of a tarsier.  The picture of Arroyo’s inaugural ceremony in 2001—printed at the back of the old bill—will still appear on the bill, this time on the front side, although a bit too small.

“The swearing in of GMA is on the front side of the new 200-peso note,” Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas says (BSP) Governor Amando Tetangco Jr. in reply to insinuations that the former President was downgraded in the new design.  The old bill bears the signature of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and Rafael Buenaventura. The little girl holding a Bible in between Arroyo and Davide at the reverse of the note is Cecilia Paz Razon Abad, daughter of former Philippine Education Secretary Florencio Abad and Batanes Representative Henedina Razon-Abad.
