The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) on Monday launched a commemorative coin featuring the Sinulog Festival of Cebu, marking the first release in its 100-Piso Philippine Festivals Commemorative Coin Series.
The BSP plans to roll out new coins in the series every month this year to highlight the cultural heritage of the Philippines and promote awareness of the country’s role as the 2026 ASEAN chair.
The issuances celebrate the rich traditions of the archipelago while fostering interest in regional cooperation. The festival series was first unveiled alongside a 10-Piso ASEAN commemorative coin in November 2025.
Each festival coin is priced at P5,000. Interested buyers can purchase the items at BSP pop-up stores in host municipalities on the day of the specific festival.
The coins also go on sale at the physical and online stores of the BSP one week after each celebration concludes. The initiative aims to engage the public with the regional significance of the Philippines during its leadership of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
