Five Hundred Piso

| 500 Piso, Dated 2010 P196 |
Philippines 500 Piso Star Note dated 2010. This note bears the signatures of President Benigno Aquino III and Governor Amando Tetangco Jr. The main feature on this note is the portrait of Benigno Simeon Aquino Jr (1932-1983) who is also the father of current President of the Philippines Benigno Aquino III. The interesting thing about this note is that it includes a famous quote by Benigno Aquino Jr that "The Filipino Is Worth Dying For", with whom he did suffer his own fate. He was murdered on his return from self exile from the USA while stepping down from the airplane (China Airlines) on 21.08.1983. He didn't even have the chance to step onto the tarmac (home soil) at the Manila International Airport. He died instantly from a gunshot to his head. The supposedly gunman/assassin, Rolando Galman was also shot and killed immediately following the shooting of Benigno Aquino at the airport. This is a classic case of a dead man (the killer) tells no tale!
