celebrating one hundred years of academic excellence in a hundred peso bill.

got this as part of my change when i ate breakfast at Chowking in Manaoag. yihee. :) 

according to this site
To commemorate the Centennial of the University of the Philippines (UP), the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas has issued 100-piso banknotes overprinted with the image of the UP Oblation. The Oblation is the iconic symbol of UP, represented by a man with arms wide-stretched and face facing up, symbolizing selfless offering of one's self to his country.

The UP Oblation overprinted on the watermark space to the right of President Manuel Acuña Roxas' portrait, symbolizes 100 years of "academic excellence, leadership and service to the nation" by "one of the most influential institutions" in the Philippines that is UP.

P.S. 
I got another one today!haha.when i googled more about these banknotes, i found out some folks are selling them for like 300-4,000 bucks. four uncut bills are being sold at around four thousand.
