I researched BSP’s US Dollar to Philippine Peso History, and I saw that my memories of the dollar-peso exchange rate in earlier years was on point. By then, the exchange rate was one US dollar = 25 pesos. The next time I got conscious about the dollar-peso exchange rate was when my husband decided to go abroad to work in 1994. And my admiration for Gloria Diaz even grew more recently when I read she was only 18 at that time!Īnd when I got to high school, somebody gave me 5 dollars, and I remember the number 7, so the exchange rate that time in the 1970s must have been 1 dollar = 7 pesos. And when I researched, Gloria Diaz became Miss Universe in 1969. Because when I remember those times, I also remember people were talking about Gloria Diaz winning the Miss Universe title. And I remember the older people said, if you have 1 dollar, you have 5 pesos. The first time I got aware there’s another kind of money, that there’s not only PESO, but that there’s also Dollar, I was in grade school. US Dollar to Philippine Peso History (Personal)

If you don’t have any document to prove where you will use US dollars, there are money changers that sell US dollars, but at a higher cost. But you need to have a long-standing account with them, and you need certain documents, like trade or import documents, or travel documents to be able to buy US dollars from them.Ĭzarina also sells US dollars, but only in their big branches, and only if you present travel or trade documents. When you need US dollars, the top banks like BDO, BPI or Metrobank offer the best foreign exchange rates. If you’re expecting bigger amounts of US dollars through Western Union, I suggest that you claim them at money changers Sanry’s or Czarina in US dollars, and then exchange them to Philippine peso. So this option is only okay for lower amounts. Note though that the Western Union exchange rate is lower than that offered by others.

I bet many bloggers receiving Google Adsense payments are happy. When Western Union offered this option, I was happy because I didn’t need to go out of our house to claim my Western Union remittance. If you have a Paymaya or a GCash account, maybe you already know that you can receive your Western Union US dollar remittance through your Paymaya or GCash account in Philippine peso.

US Dollar to Philippine Peso BDOīDO does not offer the best US dollar to Philippine peso exchange rate (they offer the 2nd or 3rd best rate), but many people exchange their foreign currencies with them. So for many years, I exchanged my US dollars at Czarina. Sanry’s money changer was another favorite, and it often times had higher exchange rates than Czarina, but there’s no Sanry’s branch in the South Metro. I then started exchanging my US dollars at Eastwest, instead of exchanging at Czarina, which was my favorite money changer for many years. I wondered why they were there at Czarina, so I started tracking Eastwest US dollar-peso exchange rates. I discovered a few years ago that EASTWEST Bank gives the best US dollar to Philippine peso exchange rate after I saw an Eastwest armored van delivering cash to a Czarina money exchange branch in Alabang.
