The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) plays a crucial role in managing the flow of money in and out of the country. To ensure transparency and compliance, they've set regulations for carrying and transferring Philippine Peso (PHP) and foreign currencies.
Here's a quick rundown of what you need to know:
- Philippine Peso (PHP):
- You can freely bring in or out of the Philippines, or electronically transfer, up to PHP50,000.
- Amounts exceeding PHP50,000 require prior written authorization from the BSP and a completed Currencies Declaration Form (CDF) if you're physically carrying the Philippine currency.
- Foreign Currencies:
- You can bring in or out of the Philippines up to USD10,000 (or its equivalent in other foreign currencies) without any declaration.
- If you're carrying more than USD10,000 worth of foreign currency, you'll need to declare the entire amount using the CDF.
