The peso (Filipino: piso) (sign: ₱; code: PHP) is the currency of the Philippines. It is subdivided into 100 centavos (Spanish) or sentimo (Filipino). Before 1967, the language used on the banknotes and coins was English and so "peso" was the name used. The language was then changed to Pilipino (the name of the Filipino language then) and so the currency as written on the banknotes and coins is piso. The peso is usually denoted by the symbol "". This symbol was added to the Unicode standard in version 3.2 and is assigned U+20B1 (₱). The symbol can be accessed through some word processors by typing in "20b1" and then pressing the Alt and X buttons simultaneously. Other ways of writing the Philippine Peso sign are "PHP", "PhP", "P", or "P" (strike-through uppercase P), which is still the most common method, as the Unicode Peso sign is not yet known to be supported by major and/or cross-platform fonts. The coins are minted at the Security Plant Complex. Banknotes, passports, seaman's identification record books, land titles, checks, sweepstakes tickets, official ballots, official election returns, passbooks, postal money orders, revenue stamps, government bonds and other government documents are printed in the Security Plant Complex or the National Printing Office.

Very likely it has the logos of Visa/Electron and MC/Maestro. That pretty much means any ATM that displays at least one of the logos will accept your card. Having been to the Philippines numerous times in the last decade, a few things to keep in mind: Don't expect to find a working ATM at Ninoy Aquino Airport, which doesn't help when you need to pay the cabbie or porter off. Hopefully you have some pesos on hand for that. The ATMs just outside the airport are fully loaded, however. Same goes for touristy areas like Boracay. The ATMs on the main drag are frequently empty, but if you're savvy enough, you can go inland to the main road and find ATMs there.
