Instead of asking here, why not just take a hundred dollar bill to the bank and try to exchange it, or to a local western union or to a ...?   If they refuse, they are not going to confiscate your money.     
The question is just somewhat bizarre to me  ??? ::) ;D :-\

You already made that point with your first post, with interest rates so low and many people not trusting the stock market, lots of people nowadays hold onto cash, I know that when I ran a gun and pawn shop years ago, I always had tons of cash around, so maybe the op is in some type of business or does not trust banks, it is not really for us to judge, it is for us to try to help people who wish to visit, move to or already live in the Philippines, well that is what I do my best to do but I often fail.

Reason for holding cash at home:

After a major earthquake banks could be offline for weeks.  Also, any connection for credit cards, ewallets, etc.

Have enough cash for at least 2 weeks but 4 weeks would be better.

For water, food and hospital needs those with cash will get preference over those without cash.

Agreed we should have have a contingency plan for an apocalyptic event.

I think I will take the precaution and hoard some 100 dollar bills.  Not going to keep them at home though as I don't want to keep too much loose cash around. Will put them in a little steel box and go bury them on a golf course.
