The story

The Visayan leopard cat, known locally as maral, is vulnerable and lives on Negros, Cebu and Panay. It replaced former president Sergio Osmeña on the front. The back shows the maliputo, a prized indigenous migratory fish of Taal Lake. The note belongs to the first Philippine polymer series, launched at Malacañang by President Marcos and the Governor.
