| Comments |
The Security Plant Complex at the BSP's main compound in Quezon City has produced Philippine banknotes in-house since 1978, making the Philippines one of relatively few developing economies to fully internalize currency printing rather than contracting to the established European security printers. P#232 belongs to the New Generation Currency series, which rolled out from 2010 onward as a phased replacement of the BSP Pilipino and Ang Bagong Lipunan series notes.
Cotton substrate for this series has been a persistent vulnerability — early NGC issues showed accelerated soiling in high-humidity circulation, a known problem in the Philippine climate that prompted ongoing adjustments to the paper specification.
