The "College of Law" nickname attached to this note refers to a well-known Filipino folk observation: that the faces on the 100-peso series are all lawyers. It is a curiosity of popular culture rather than an official designation, but the label has stuck firmly enough that dealers use it in trade.
P#212B belongs to the New Design Series that the BSP introduced progressively through the 1980s and 1990s, with the 100-peso denomination among the workhorses of everyday Philippine commerce. The Security Plant Complex has produced BSP notes domestically since 1978, giving the Philippines one of the few fully inhouse central bank printing operations in Southeast Asia.
