The abacá fiber content is the detail worth noting here. Abacá — a banana-relative native to the Philippines — has been used in Philippine banknote paper for decades, a deliberate policy choice that links currency production to a domestic agricultural industry. The 20% inclusion isn't decorative tradition; it materially affects the note's tear resistance and tactile feel compared to all-cotton substrates.
Two distinct signature combinations mean this Pick number spans the transition from the Aquino III administration to Duterte's, with Tetangco serving as BSP Governor across both — his name appears on every variant in the series.
