Philippine Peso Exchange Rates: April 12, 2025

Did you know that money from different countries has different values? One U.S. dollar (that’s the money they use in America) is not always worth the same as a dollar from other countries like Japan, the UK, or the Philippines!

Let’s look at the top 15 currencies and see what they are worth when you compare them to the Philippine Peso (PHP), which is the money used in the Philippines.

What’s Happening?

On April 11, 2025, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) — that’s the big bank of the Philippines — shared the latest exchange rates. These rates show us how much one unit of foreign money is worth in pesos and in other global currencies like the Euro and U.S. Dollar.

Think of it like a big math chart that tells you, “If I had one dollar or yen or pound… how many pesos would I get?”
