Antique Philippine Paper Money

Obverse View of the Philippine 5-Peso Note Issued in 1921

This paper money featured in a 2014 post of mine has turned 100 years old officially.  Can you believe it?  It's insane.

1921 Philippine Money (Family Collection) Rediscovered Because of the Floods.

Obverse:  5 Pesos circa 1921 (American regime) issued by the Philippine National Bank.
Reverse:  literally wiped-out.  In close up, some characters are still recognizable, though.

Is there anything good that came out of the recently atrocious event which can only be depicted by grotesque scenes of waist-deep floods brought about by the "enhanced" southwest monsoon that hit Metro Manila?  Could you think of one?  Was there any silver lining?  For me, there's one.  My mom "rediscovered" these really old Philippine paper bills from my grandfather's collection!  Yey!
