The Philippine Islands were acquired by the USA in 1899 as part of a treaty with Spain ending the Spanish-American War. They were under US sovereignty and in 1935 they were made a commonwealth of the US. Currency Notes were produced at the Bureau of Engraving in the USA for the Phillipines under U.S. sovereignty andwere issued from 1903 to 1949. During World War II the normal flow of notes from the United States was interrupted.

On 10 December, 1941 Japanese troops landed on Luzon. The Japanese overran Manila on 2 January, 1942, and in the process captured more than $20.5 Million in U.S. and local cash and an unknown amount of foreign currency and bullion in that capital city. The Japanese used this hard currency abroad to purchase raw materials, rice and weapons to fuel and feed its war machine. In its place the Japanese issued several series of invasion notes. The first issue in 1942 consisted of denominations of 1, 5, 10 and 50 centavos and 1, 5, and 10 Pesos.
