Have you ever wondered how much the money from other countries is worth when you compare it to our Philippine Peso? Well, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) just released the latest numbers on how strong or weak these foreign currencies are against the Philippine Peso (₱) and the U.S. Dollar ($).
Let’s break it down together and explain what’s happening to the top 15 currencies in the world as of July 21, 2025. ✨📊
🌐💱 TOP 15 CURRENCIES VS THE PHILIPPINE PESO (PHP):
1. 🇺🇸 US Dollar (USD)
-
₱57.17 = $1
The U.S. Dollar is still one of the strongest. This means if you have 1 dollar, you can exchange it for around 57 pesos.
2. 🇯🇵 Japanese Yen (JPY)
-
₱0.39 = ¥1
The Yen is a small-valued currency, so it takes a lot of yen to equal 1 peso.
3. 🇬🇧 British Pound (GBP)

₱76.79 = £1
The British Pound is very strong, even stronger than the US Dollar! This makes it one of the most expensive currencies on this list.

₱7.29 = HK$1
Stronger than the Yen, but still much lower than the US Dollar. Commonly used by OFWs in Hong Kong.

₱71.40 = 1 Franc
Another power currency! If someone gives you 1 Swiss Franc, you get more than 70 pesos!

₱41.68 = CA$1
The Canadian Dollar is quite strong too, making it valuable when sent home by Filipino workers in Canada.
