MANILA, Philippines — A group known for its involvement in the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution criticized the new-look polymer Philippine peso banknotes.
In a statement on Friday, the August Twenty One Movement (ATOM) said the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) rejected the quote of national hero Jose Rizal, “I die without seeing the dawn brighten over my native land. You who have it to see, welcome it — and forget not those who have fallen during the night!”
