PRESIDENT Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. received a series of commemorative coins from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) on Wednesday, spotlighting the Philippines’ upcoming chairmanship of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the country’s rich festival culture.

At a ceremony in Malacañan Palace, BSP Governor Eli M. Remolona, Jr. and Deputy Governor Mamerto E. Tangonan presented Mr. Marcos with the 10-peso ASEAN 2026 Commemorative Circulation Coin.

The coin, which features a woven pattern, rice stalks, waves and a balangay boat, is embedded with a QR code that provides information about ASEAN 2026, highlighting the Philippines’ leadership in steering regional initiatives next year.
