- General note - The Banco Español-Filipino de Isabel II, now known as the Bank of the Philippine Islands, was established on August 1, 1851, following a royal order decreeing the foundation of a public bank. The bank's express aim was to encourage the use of savings for commercial purposes. Its symbol, the royal coat of arms, was awarded by the Queen of Spain herself. Shown is the Royal Customs House in Intramuros, where the newly established bank was first housed. (Source: Landmarks of Manila: 1571-1930, Visitacion de la Torre, 1981) YYY
