Culion Leper Colony is located on Culion Island, 20 miles long and 10 miles wide. It is located a short distance north of Palawan. Culions´ notes where issued first without presidential authority (more common), and later with presidential authority (rarer). This authority designation was printed on the back of the notes, and all notes had the Bureau of Health stamping in blue.  None of the 1, 5 or 20 Peso notes had the presidential authority clause on the reverse.

Recently a hoard of these notes was discovered, making them much more obtainable.  The 1 centavo through 50 centavo can generally be had for under $100, while the 1 Peso seems to be averaging a little over that, and the 5 Peso and 20 Peso notes are about $200 & $400-$500, respectively.
