This banknote was supposed to be issued along with the rest of the New Design Series in 1985. However due to political circumstances, this design was never released into circulation.
The 500-peso Marcos bill was slated for production in late 1985. However, when a snap election was scheduled. The circulation of the newly printed bills was put on hold in deference to the law against electioneering as Marcos, whose image appeared on the new bank note was the incumbent running against Corazon Aquino. My 500-peso Marcos bill was never circulated and with the events that proceeded: the snap elections, the disputed victory of Marcos, the success of People’s Power in February 1986 and the instatement of Aquino as President, it perhaps seemed fitting that any vestiges of the overthrown government were thrown off. President Corazon Aquino soon ordered the redesign of the bill to honour her husband, Senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino whose 1983 slaying became the catalyst for change and the new democracy’s rallying cry for the overthrow of Marcos. Though I was once again tasked with the redesign of the bill, my family’s move to Canda prevented me from taking on the assignment.

nice piece of unpublished trivia sir jamesbond... so if the snap election never came to be, then this would have been the 500 peso bill instead of the one we are using now...

that is correct sir... he's got the power then so it was really easy for him to pressure the CB people... where in that case, his dummies...

agree with your point of view sir... well, the rest is history and i might say good for you that you have been a part of it...

well setting politics aside, buti nalang at di na-circulate ito. kung titignan nyong maigi yung graphics o pagkakaguhit ng tao parang ampanget na hindi maintindihan. parang ginuhit lang ng estudyante diba. ikumpara nyo sa perang papel sa wallet nyo, makikita nyo ang diperensya.

ano kaya ang nararamdaman nina bongbong marcos kapag humuhugot sila ng pera para magbayad sa mga restaurant o sa mga pamilihan, mukha parati ni ninoy ang nakikita nila imbis na yung tatay nila. :think:
