There’s a certain feeling when you check exchange rates—especially if you’re sending money home, paying a bill abroad, or planning a trip. One peso move can feel small… until it isn’t.
Based on the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Reference Exchange Rate Bulletin dated Dec 02, 2025, here’s where the Philippine peso (PHP) stands against the U.S. dollar and other major currencies.
The big headline: PHP vs US Dollar
-
$1 = ₱58.5950 (USD/PHP reference equivalent)
And if you’re dealing with bank telegraphic transfers (T/T): -
BSP Buying (T/T): ₱58.250
-
BSP Selling (T/T): ₱58.750
-
BSP Reference Rate: ₱58.500
-
PDS Closing (Dec 01, 2025): ₱58.490
A narrow range… but even small swings matter when you’re converting thousands.

What’s happening—quick, human take
-
GBP (₱77.45) and CHF (₱72.83) stay expensive—these currencies typically price higher vs PHP, so travel and payments in these regions can feel heavier.
-
EUR (₱68.03) remains a strong benchmark—often the “middle ground” between USD and GBP pricing pressure.
-
JPY and KRW look “cheap” per 1 unit, but don’t be fooled—these currencies are naturally smaller denominations, so look at 100 yen or 1,000 won for real-world spending.
-
AED (₱15.96) and SGD (₱45.23) matter a lot to OFWs—every peso change hits remittances, savings goals, and family budgets back home.
If you want, I can also rewrite this into a Facebook caption style or a newsreader script (with punchy pauses and a stronger emotional hook).
