Romeo Castillo MananQuil was a consistent scholar before he graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, cum laude, from the University of the Philippines. While still a student, he started illustrating for Liwayway, the country’s top vernacular magazine. (click here)
He is credited in designing the 1st 2-peso decagonal coin, co-designed the other minor coins, the now demonetized green 5-peso Aguinaldo bank note, the original, printed but never circulated Marcos 500-peso bill (later replaced by the Ninoy 500, designed by Asuncion as he already left for Canada), and the tri-hero blue 1000-peso bank note still in circulation.
