Let us not spare Ninoy Aquino on the 500 peso banknote. His worried composure has no place in this time of rejoicing. Even the stars blink with joy!

Cory & Ninoy Aquino on 500 Peso Bill?

[UPDATE: New Generation Banknote Series with Cory and Ninoy Released!]

Why not? They fought for a common cause and gained the respect of Filipinos worldwide. Now, they deserve to be together. Besides, all former Philippine Presidents who passed away (except Marcos and Laurel) have appeared on circulation banknotes. Even current president Arroyo is already in the P200 bill. Above is the artwork by Peace love and revolution placing side by side, Corazon "Cory" Aquino and Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino, Jr. I think this is something that is not far from happening. I just think that since Cory is smiling, Ninoy should also smile like this.

FYI: Cory is already honored in the Philippines' largest denominated coin - the 1992 P10,000 coin - but how many can actually have that or even know it exists?

I was planning to make something like this before Cory will be buried today but when I searched the net, someone already thought of it. And since "Revolution" did such a good job in duplicating the texture and fonts (click on image to enlarge), this one is very much worth our attention.

Manny Pacquiao on 5 Peso Bill

The Pacquiao vs Marquez Unfinished Business boxing match is at 8AM tomorrow, Philippine time. With that, it is time to add to our online collection this interesting 5-peso bill spoof featuring Manny Pacquiao at the obverse and one of his boxing matches at the back. It is a fine revival of the five peso banknote already out of print.

This spoof of the five peso bill has circulated in the internet last 2006 after Manny Pacquiao defeated Erik Morales and Oscar Larios in much anticipated boxing matches. Efforts were made to trace the creator of this banknote spoof but to no avail. Whoever you are, nice work!
