PHP vs USD & Top 15 Currencies Today (December 4, 2025)

Based on the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Reference Exchange Rate Bulletin dated December 04, 2025.

There’s a certain kind of stress Filipinos know too well—when the peso moves, everything feels it.
Your online cart. Your fuel bill. Your next travel plan. Even that simple “padala” computation.

And today, the latest official snapshot from the BSP (released for December 04, 2025) shows where the Philippine peso (PHP) stands against the world’s most watched currencies—especially the US dollar.

Take a breath. Here’s what’s happening.


The Big Headline: PHP vs US Dollar (USD)

The BSP bulletin lists the US Dollar at:

USD 1 = PHP 58.7500

That’s the anchor of global pricing—because many international goods, fuel, and contracts are still tied to the dollar.

And if you’re buying or selling dollars through banks, BSP also lists guideposts:

  • BSP Buying Rate (T/T): PHP 58.650

  • BSP Selling Rate (T/T): PHP 59.150

  • BSP Reference Rate: PHP 58.900

  • PDS Closing Rate (03-Dec-2025): PHP 58.920

Natural pause here—because those small decimal differences?
They matter when you’re exchanging bigger amounts.


Top 15 Currencies: How Much PHP for 1 Unit

Below is the Top 15 set from the bulletin—written the way most people actually want to read it: PHP per 1 unit of currency.

PHP vs Top 15 Currencies (BSP Bulletin: Dec 04, 2025)

  1. USD 1 = PHP 58.7500

  2. JPY 1 = PHP 0.3785

  3. GBP 1 = PHP 78.4489

  4. HKD 1 = PHP 7.5479

  5. CHF 1 = PHP 73.4742

  6. CAD 1 = PHP 42.1147

  7. SGD 1 = PHP 45.4194

  8. AUD 1 = PHP 38.7750

  9. BHD 1 = PHP 155.8397

  10. KWD 1 = N/A (not available in bulletin)

  11. SAR 1 = PHP 15.6562

  12. BND 1 = PHP 45.2445

  13. IDR 1 = PHP 0.0035

  14. THB 1 = PHP 1.8423

  15. AED 1 = PHP 15.9964


What It Means (Simple, Real-World Read)

1) The “strong” currencies hit harder

Look at these and you feel it immediately:

  • BHD 1 = PHP 155.8397

  • GBP 1 = PHP 78.4489

  • CHF 1 = PHP 73.4742

If you’re supporting family in those regions—or traveling there—PHP has to work extra hard.

2) The “peso-friendly” currencies look cheap per unit

  • IDR 1 = PHP 0.0035

  • JPY 1 = PHP 0.3785

But pause—this doesn’t automatically mean it’s “cheaper to live” there. Some currencies are just denominated differently (they use bigger numbers in daily pricing).

3) Gulf rates matter for OFWs

For many Filipino families, these are emotional numbers—not just financial:

  • SAR 1 = PHP 15.6562

  • AED 1 = PHP 15.9964

  • BHD 1 = PHP 155.8397

Because every centavo change can affect remittances, budgets, and monthly plans.
