| Opmerkingen |
Palawan's wartime emergency currency was among the most geographically isolated of all Philippine provincial issues. Brooke's Point — a remote settlement on Palawan's southern coast — served as a guerrilla administrative center after Japanese forces occupied the provincial capital of Puerto Princesa in 1942. Notes were produced there under the authority of the provincial government-in-exile, using whatever materials were locally available, which is why paper quality, ink, and typeface vary considerably across surviving examples.
The Japanese military administration never fully controlled Palawan's interior, giving this currency a genuine, if limited, circulation life among civilians and resistance fighters throughout 1943.
