The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) released the latest foreign exchange reference rates for November 5, 2025, and the numbers tell a story every Filipino can feel:
📌 ₱58.68 = $1
The US dollar remains strong, keeping the peso under pressure as global markets shift and overseas spending stays high. For OFWs, that strong dollar brings relief. For local consumers, it brings worry.
Peso vs. Top Global Currencies
Here’s how the Philippine peso stacks up today:
