Philippine guerrilla currency from the Japanese occupation period. The 7th Military District covered Negros Island, where anti-Japanese resistance maintained enough organization to issue functioning local scrip — not propaganda, but working currency used to pay guerrilla forces and facilitate commerce in areas outside Japanese control. These notes circulated alongside, and in direct competition with, Japanese-issued "Mickey Mouse money," which the population widely distrusted.

Survival rates for Negros guerrilla issues are uneven. Some denominations were printed in very limited runs on whatever paper was available locally, and many were deliberately destroyed before Japanese forces could use captured scrip to identify resistance networks.
