National Flag Day

In observance to National Flag Day.

On March 6, 1965, Presidential Proclamation No. 374 was issued declaring May 28 as National Flag Day to commemorate the date the national emblem was first unfurled after the Philippine Revolutionary Army defeated the Spanish forces in the Battle at Alapan, Imus, Cavite in 1898. On May 23, 1994, Executive Order No. 79 was issued extending the period of celebrating National Flag Day from May 28 to June 12. All Filipinos are encouraged to display the Philippine flag in all offices, agencies and instruments of government, business establishments, schools, and private homes throughout this period.

This is to give respect and reverence to our symbol of national sovereignty and solidarity. The Philippine flag is the embodiment of all our country’s ideals, culture and tradition.

Look at the Serial Numbers. 👀

Usually, yung may mga error na Mismatch Serial Numbers ay isang character lang ang naiiba. Either sinundan, oh kasunod na prefix and/or number.

Ex. GY133466 - GZ133466
DF156724 - DF156734

Pero in this case, ang layo ng tinalon oh pinagkakaiba ng dalawang serial numbers at mapapansin din na may kakaibang symbol sa dulo.

Both banknotes are printed in 2025 and bears serial number CC777777. Only difference is there is Suffix A after the year on one of the banknotes.

If all the serial numbers are already used (A000001-ZZ1000000) in that year, and they still have to print another set of banknotes within the same series, they have to use the serials from A000001 again, but this time they’ll be adding the Suffix letter at the end of the year. If they have reached upto Serial ZZ1000000 again and still have to print more, they’ll just repeat the process and will use then the next letter and so on. This process is just to avoid repetition of serial numbers in a single year within the same series and to keep every serial numbers unique from one another.
