Maribojoc is a small municipality on the southern coast of Bohol island in the Philippines. Notes like this one were produced under Japanese occupation when the guerrilla-aligned civil administration issued its own emergency scrip to keep local economies functioning — the occupying forces having disrupted or replaced prewar Philippine Commonwealth currency.
Municipal issues from Bohol are among the more fragmentary of the Philippine emergency series. Maribojoc's board operated with extremely limited resources, and low-denomination centavo notes were printed in small quantities for basic market transactions. Few survived the war intact.
