| Reverse description | The central vignette presents a detailed intaglio rendering of Barasoain Church (Simbahan ng Barasoain) occupying the left and centre of the field, its Baroque stone facade and bell tower executed with fine line engraving. To the right of the church, a large tree shelters a group of rural figures in traditional dress gathered around baskets of goods, evoking everyday Philippine life. Guilloche rosettes in blue appear at the upper-left and lower-right corners, with the denomination numeral '10' printed in contrasting colours at each corner. |

The date range here spans three administrations and a political rupture. Notes bearing the Marcos & Fernandez signature combination predate the 1986 People Power Revolution; those signed by Aquino & Fernandez were transitional issues carrying Corazon Aquino's authority over a note that still bore design continuity with the Marcos-era series. The shift from black to red serial numbers under Aquino & Cuisia was a printing control measure, not a reissue — the same plates, a different press run.
Five distinct signature combinations across a single Pick number is unusual by any standard, and makes this an interesting series to work through sequentially.
