"Philippines' new 1000 bill" Philippines has new 1000 bill. The front picture of it before was the portraits of former Chief justice Jose Abad Santos, a civic worker Josefa Llanes Escoda, and a general in the Philippine army Vincent Lim. The new bill now has a picture of Philippines Eagle, country's national bird. Also feature the Philippines National flower, jasmin or sampaguita. But one thing that I'm curious, some people say that you can't fold it. My sister saw one post on fb that one customer on a mall pay using this new bill that has a fold but the cashier didn't accept it. Does it mean I need a big wallet? hahaha. @Snowver
