| Comments |
The Seal type 5 designation marks a shift in the BSP's official seal design, one of several incremental changes made to the series during the 1990s that collectors use to distinguish otherwise visually identical notes. The Ramos-Singson signature combination spans the longest portion of the run, covering undated examples through 1998, while the Estrada-Buenaventura pairing reflects the Estrada administration's brief and turbulent tenure — he was removed from office in January 2001 via People Power II, making the 2001-dated notes among the last signed under that government.
Printed entirely in-house at the BSP's Security Plant Complex, this series predates the facility's later security upgrades; the watermark remains the primary embedded feature, with no security thread or color-shifting ink of the kind introduced in subsequent redesigns.
