Security measures for Peso of the Philippines

Some counterfeit bills of 500 peso or 1,000 peso are being detected in the Philippines. On top of this, voting rights are often sold and bought illegally in the country, so counterfeit bills are often found during the election season. Filipino bills are equipped with security measures preventing counterfeiting such as raised ink printing, serial number, fluorescent appearance, watermark and security seal so please heed to those signs.
