00:00 This is probably the biggest money in the Philippines right now.
00:04 It looks like the wall here is just made of bricks in the morning.
00:07 Because if this is what you're going to pay for, good luck if they have a gun.
00:12 This money is worth 100,000 pesos!
00:17 As in, the whole 100,000 pesos? Huh, where are you?
00:26 What if this huge piece of paper and the money we're used to
00:31 combine and become one?
00:33 Wow, it's so big!
00:37 This is my first time seeing this.
00:41 This doesn't fit in my wallet.
00:43 You can see in front of the 100,000 peso bill
00:46 the logos of the Philippine Centennial Commission and the Central Bank of the Philippines.
00:50 The image of the shout in Pugadlawin is also included.
00:53 Behind it are the designs that will be used in the Declaration of Independence.
00:58 In this 14 by 8.5 inches size, or the size of a legal-sized bond paper,
01:03 our 100,000 peso banknote is the second biggest banknote in the world.
01:09 It is followed by the 600 ringgit banknote of Malaysia, which is 14.5 by 8.6 inches in size.
01:17 Did you know that the Central Bank of the Philippines issued a 100,000 peso bill
01:23 to the public in 1998?
01:26 One of the most famous is that it paid the money collector, Philip.
01:31 I like history. There was good investment potential.
01:35 There was an international market that was willing to pay a lot more.
01:39 Not one, not two, but eight banknotes!
01:46 He bought it for 120,000 pesos each.
01:50 We store it in boxes so that it won't get in the ants.
01:56 Sometimes, because it's so hot, it gets moist.
02:02 And it's air-conditioned.
02:03 Philip has almost 10,000 banknotes in his collection.
02:08 He also bought some of these.
02:12 But his 25-year-old 100,000 peso bill, when sold at auctions,
02:17 will cost up to a staggering 800,000 pesos.
02:22 So the million peso question,
02:25 is Philip's special Philippine banknote for keeps or for sale?
02:29 Another Philippine peso bill that really made a lot of noise
02:38 was the 1,000 peso bill that was released to the public in April 2022.
02:43 But aside from that, it also talked about its unique texture.
02:47 It's made from special material of polymer
02:50 because it's supposed to be waterproof and dustproof.
02:55 One of the symbols that was sold here
02:59 is our national bird, the Philippine eagle.
03:02 But did you know that it was actually a bird that was traded for this money?
03:07 [Music]
03:14 This eagle's picture went viral on social media
03:17 and it also made a deal with the new 1,000 peso bill.
03:20 Meet Sinag, the 7-year-old Philippine eagle
03:23 that is being cared for here at the Philippine Eagle Center in Davao.
03:26 A lot of people were impressed with Sinag's selfie
03:28 and he even took a silhouette of it.
03:30 Because it's like a lot of people have met and greeted the artistic eagle.
03:36 But did you know that Sinag's silhouette is just like a lot of people's
03:39 when it comes to the 1,000 peso bill?
03:41 And we're not just kidding.
03:43 Because of our squad's effort,
03:45 we found the real one.
03:48 He's the 13-year-old Vigo.
03:51 [Music]
03:54 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
03:56 Wow.
03:59 Can we take a picture?
04:03 Okay.
04:05 [Laughs]
04:06 The photographer behind Vigo's money shot
04:11 was found here in Laguna.
04:14 Actually, I went there in 2017
04:19 specifically to get the portrait of the Philippine eagle.
04:22 Because as a photographer, as a wildlife photographer,
04:25 I wanted to have a portrait of the Philippine eagle in our house.
04:29 Of the four eagles on display,
04:31 four of them are the most handsome.
04:33 I stayed there until I got my shot of a lifetime.
04:37 In his money shot,
04:38 Floyd got the attention of the DSP.
04:41 They asked him to be the guide
04:43 to use Vigo's portrait in the new 1,000 peso bill.
04:46 It's a good and important conservation message.
04:51 And they'll be more aware
04:55 about our national bird, the eagle.
04:59 The Philippine eagle is one of the rarest eagles in the world.
05:02 Currently, only 400 pairs of this eagle are seen in the wild.
05:06 That's why they are considered as a critically endangered species
05:10 according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature or IUCN.
05:15 We are currently building our new breeding facility
05:19 at Eden de Turil, Davao City,
05:21 which is focusing on the conservation breeding of our Philippine eagle.
05:25 [music]
05:30 Now, let's go back to Philip and his 100,000 peso banknotes.
05:35 Now, the value of those notes is now reaching 800,000 pesos per piece.
05:40 So, will you sell it for 800,000?
05:44 Yes, you would sell it for 800,000.
05:48 Now, Philip is open to those who want to buy his collection.
05:54 [music]
05:58 These coins look like they're just floating in our hands.
06:01 But the next time we hold these,
06:04 we'll remember the stories behind the symbols of our Philippine identity.
06:09 That's the wealth that can't be measured by a big scale.
06:15 Aha!
