Pagtanggal ng mga bayani sa P1K bill pinalagan ng UP History Dept

Manila, Philippines – Pinalagan ng Department of History ng University of the Philippines ang pagtatanggal ng Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas sa mga bayani ng World War II na sina Jose Abad Santos, Josefa Llanes Escoda, at Vicente Lim sa bagong P1,000 bill.

“It appears by this act, the BSP is not only disregarding the Filipino symbol of its quest for nationhood and what it means through these heroes; the BSP is also trivializing this symbol,” lahad ng departamento.

Dapat anila muna nagkaroon ng public consultation sa muling pagdidisenyo ng pera kung saan ipinalit ang Philippine Eagle.

“Today, in the twenty-first century under Filipino auspices, through the BSP, that act is being mindlessly repeated,” dagdag pa rito.

“We earnestly call on the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas to retain the images of our three heroes in the P1,000 bill, most especially in the new polymer bill.”

Samantala, sinabi ng National Historical Commission of the Philippines na hindi rin sila kinonsulta ng BSP tungkol sa gagawing pagbabago. RNT/FGDC
