The Philippine peso woke up to another challenging day today, November 26, 2025, as the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) released its latest reference rates.
The numbers paint a picture of a currency fighting to stay steady in a world filled with economic pressure — from global inflation to geopolitical tension to fluctuating commodity prices.

At the center of it all?
The currency every Filipino watches closely:

👉 ₱58.893 = $1 US Dollar

For OFWs, this means remittances hit harder.
For businesses, imports grow more expensive.
For families, prices feel a little heavier.

But the story doesn’t end with the dollar.
Let’s break down how the top 15 currencies stack up against the Philippine peso today — and what it means for Filipinos around the world.
