10 Centavos

Maribojoc is a small coastal municipality on Bohol island, and its wartime emergency scrip belongs to one of the most fragmented currency phenomena of the Pacific War. Following the Japanese occupation of the Philippines, local governments — municipalities, provinces, and guerrilla units — issued their own paper currency out of necessity, with no central coordination. The Emergency Currency Board designation was a loose legal framework, not a standardized institution; dozens of municipalities used the same title while operating entirely independently.

Bohol's guerrilla resistance remained unusually organized throughout the occupation, and local scrip issued there was often backed by informal commodity guarantees rather than nothing at all. Whether this specific note falls within that guerrilla-connected network or was purely civilian municipal issue is not always traceable note by note.
