The Philippine National Bank was established in 1916 partly to break Manila's dependence on foreign commercial banks, which had long controlled agricultural credit on the islands. These circulating notes, printed under contract by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Washington, gave the PNB a visible presence in daily commerce that its balance sheet alone could not provide.
The 1920 date places this note squarely in the volatile post-WWI commodity slump that hit Philippine sugar and hemp exports hard — the same downturn that pushed the PNB itself into insolvency by 1921, requiring government intervention to prevent collapse.
