This note belongs to the emergency guerrilla and provincial currency series produced by Philippine local authorities in the weeks following the Japanese invasion of December 1941. The Negros Occidental provincial government and the Philippine National Bank's Bacolod branch moved quickly to issue small-denomination notes as silver coinage vanished from circulation almost immediately — hoarded by civilians who correctly anticipated what was coming.
Locally printed under genuinely difficult conditions, the notes were never intended as permanent instruments. Production quality varies considerably within the series, and signatures sometimes differ between otherwise identical specimens.
