Philippine provincial emergency currency was authorized under Japanese occupation, but Palawan's guerrilla-aligned civil administration issued its own notes in defiance of the occupying forces rather than in cooperation with them. The Province of Palawan remained one of the more persistently resistant areas in the archipelago throughout 1943, and these notes functioned as instruments of a parallel local economy operating alongside — and against — the Japanese-imposed Mickey Mouse money.

Survival rates for Palawan's wartime provincials are low. The island's remoteness, combined with the destruction that accompanied liberation operations in 1944–45, accounts for that scarcity.
