Have you ever wondered how much your money is really worth when compared to other countries’ money? 📉📈 That’s exactly what the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) tells us in its daily Exchange Rate Bulletin—and today’s update (June 10, 2025) shows some interesting moves!
Here’s what’s happening with the top 15 currencies that matter most to Filipinos, especially OFWs, travelers, and online shoppers. Let’s break it down so that even a 4th grader can understand:
🇺🇸 1. United States Dollar (USD)
-
1 USD = PHP 55.82
This means if you have 1 US dollar, you can exchange it for about 55.82 pesos. The US dollar is still strong, and many Filipinos use it when they work abroad or shop online.
🇯🇵 2. Japanese Yen (JPY)
-
1 Yen = PHP 0.39
That’s less than 1 peso! You’d need almost 3 yen to make 1 peso. So, it’s a low value compared to the peso—but it’s still important for trade and travel.
🇬🇧 3. British Pound (GBP)
-
1 Pound = PHP 75.64
Whoa! That’s a lot more than 1 US dollar! The pound is one of the strongest currencies in the world.
🇭🇰 4. Hong Kong Dollar (HKD)
-
1 HKD = PHP 7.11
This is good news for OFWs in Hong Kong! Their remittances still carry strong value.
🇨🇭 5. Swiss Franc (CHF)
-
1 Franc = PHP 67.94
This money is from Switzerland and it’s really valuable, even more than the US dollar.
🇨🇦 6. Canadian Dollar (CAD)
-
1 CAD = PHP 40.76
Still quite strong! Many Filipinos working or migrating to Canada will find this helpful.
🇸🇬 7. Singapore Dollar (SGD)
-
1 SGD = PHP 43.41
OFWs in Singapore can smile a little—this is a pretty strong exchange rate!
🇦🇺 8. Australian Dollar (AUD)
-
1 AUD = PHP 36.37
Not as strong as before, but still decent for those working or studying in Australia.
🇧🇭 9. Bahraini Dinar (BHD)
-
1 BHD = PHP 148.08
😲 The highest in the list! One Bahraini Dinar is worth almost 3x more than the US dollar!
❌ 10. Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD)
-
No data today
We usually see this as the strongest currency in the world, but there’s no info today.
🇸🇦 11. Saudi Riyal (SAR)
-
1 SAR = PHP 14.88
A favorite for many OFWs. It’s still a good rate for sending money home.
🇧🇳 12. Brunei Dollar (BND)
-
1 BND = PHP 43.24
Almost the same as the Singapore dollar. It’s strong and steady.
🇮🇩 13. Indonesian Rupiah (IDR)
-
1 IDR = PHP 0.0034
It takes hundreds of rupiah to make just 1 peso. So the value is very small.
🇹🇭 14. Thai Baht (THB)
-
1 Baht = PHP 1.71
Still holds decent value! Great for travelers visiting Thailand.
🇦🇪 15. UAE Dirham (AED)
-
1 AED = PHP 15.20
This is great for OFWs in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Strong, stable value!
💡 What Does All This Mean?
These exchange rates tell us how strong or weak a currency is compared to the Philippine Peso. If you’re working abroad, a stronger currency means more pesos when you send money home. If you’re traveling or shopping online, it helps to know how far your peso can go in other countries.
