In the Philippines, a peculiar growing movement has emerged as citizens navigate the daily struggle of dealing with the hated P500 bill adorned with the faces of Cory and Ninoy Aquino. It seems they would rather bear the burden of a hefty P500 coin, turning their wallets into miniature weightlifting apparatus.

In this bizarre quest to rid their wallets of hard-earned P500 notes bearing a reminder of the Aquino legacy, citizens have developed a unique form of physical fitness — the “Anti-Aquino Workout.” Picture Filipinos everywhere, engaged in awkward squats and weightlifting routines if only to send their memories of the Aquinos into oblivion.

It appears that for some, the weight of a coin is a small price to pay for the elimination of unwanted political faces on paper.

Will the Central Bank hear their plea?
