Maribojoc is a small municipality on the southern coast of Bohol in the central Philippines. This note is one of hundreds of emergency guerrilla and municipal issues produced across the Philippine islands after the Japanese occupation disrupted the banking system and wiped out the pre-war currency supply. Local governments, provinces, and guerrilla units improvised their own paper money out of necessity — often on whatever stock was available.
Bohol's municipal issues from 1944 are among the more obscure in the Philippine emergency currency literature. Documentation on specific print runs and authorizing officials is fragmentary at best.
