THE August Twenty-One Movement (ATOM), who questioned last week the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) removal of the faces of the country's national heroes on the new polymer bills, is asking until when the central bank will continue paper banknotes.
In a statement on Monday, the group called out BSP's explanations for the removal of the three wartime heroes — Jose Abad Santos, Vicente Lim and Josefa Llanes Escoda — from the P1,000 bill, which became the "first casualty" of the "hero-less" polymer banknotes.
