The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has unveiled two new commemorative coins honoring the country’s cultural heritage and its upcoming role as ASEAN Chair in 2026.
In a ceremony at Malacañang Palace on 26 November 2025, BSP Governor Eli M. Remolona, Jr. presented President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. with the “Pista sa Pilipinas: 100-Piso Philippine Festivals Commemorative Silver Coin Series” and the new 10-Piso ASEAN Coin.
The festival-themed silver coins highlight the vibrant traditions and celebrations found across the Philippines. Meanwhile, the ASEAN coin marks the country’s leadership and continued commitment to regional cooperation ahead of its ASEAN Chairmanship next year.
Joining the presentation for the 10-Piso ASEAN Coin were Department of Foreign Affairs officials Director-General for Operations Chief of Staff Aian A. Caringal, Assistant Secretary Anne L. Hernando, and BSP Deputy Governor Mamerto E. Tangonan.
The BSP said the commemorative coins aim to boost public appreciation of Philippine culture while shining a spotlight on the nation’s role in the ASEAN community.
