Before the Philippine Eagle appeared on our 1000-piso polymer banknote, its popularity started during the US Administration. The Founding Fathers of America chose the bald eagle as the nation's emblem, symbolizing strength and freedom on the Great Seal. When the Philippines was under US governance, the American Eagle represented American protection over its territories. This eagle is featured in various designs, such as Philippine coins, insignias & seals, cigarette wrappers, and silver key chains (Llavera), becoming a cherished part of our heritage.
