ILS to PHP today: Israeli shekel to Philippine peso
1 Israeli shekel = ₱20.5059, and ₱1,000 buys 48.77 ILS. The BSP does not publish a Israeli shekel rate; this figure is the Bank of Israel rate worked through the BSP dollar rate. Against 2 Oct 2025, when it was ₱17.6131, 1,000 ILS brings ₱2,892.75 more (1,000 × ₱2.8928). Next: ask the sending firm how many pesos will arrive and test it in the quote checker; collect at a BSP-registered office near you (offices by province).
Rate: Bank of Israel representative rate of 3.0600 ILS per US dollar on 2 Oct 2026, converted at the BSP weighted average dollar rate on the 2 Oct 2026 bulletin (₱62.7480). Working: ₱62.7480 per US$ ÷ 3.0600 ILS per US$ = ₱20.5059.

Receiving ILS transfers in the Philippines
Cash remittances from Israel reached US$105 million in 2025 (BSP, preliminary).
Shekels sent to the Philippines are normally converted by the sending firm and paid out in pesos: into a bank account, an e-wallet such as GCash or Maya, or as cash at a remittance agent. Ask for the peso amount before you send, because that figure already includes the firm's rate.
Neither BPI nor Metrobank posts a board rate for Israeli shekel notes, so ask the sender to have the money paid out in pesos rather than carry the cash home. Find a registered office near you on the remittance centres by province page, compare e-wallet cash-in and cash-out fees, and check the InstaPay and PESONet fee before moving the pesos to your bank.
How Philippine tax treats ILS you receive
- Money family abroad sends you is not part of your gross income: gifts are excluded under NIRC Sec. 32(B)(3), and an OFW's pay earned abroad is not taxed here under Sec. 23(C). Money paid to you for work is income in any currency. More: are remittances taxable?
- OFW remittances are exempt from documentary stamp tax when the recipient shows the OFW's OEC or OWWA certificate (RA 8042 Sec. 35 as amended by RA 10022). More: documentary stamp tax.
- Kept in a foreign currency deposit, the interest of a resident is taxed at a 20% final tax since 1 July 2025 (RA 12214, CMEPA). More: final tax.
- A business converts ILS amounts at the BSP rate on the transaction day, is taxed on forex gains only when realized, and loses other rates in an audit unless it filed the sworn statement (BIR RMC 12-2024). More: income tax.
ILS to PHP questions
How much is 2,000 ILS in Philippine pesos?
2,000 × ₱20.5059 = ₱41,011.76 at the 2 Oct 2026 rate, and 10,000 ILS is ₱205,058.82. What arrives is lower by the provider's fee and rate margin.
What is the highest ILS to PHP rate?
In the three years to 2 Oct 2026 the highest daily value was ₱21.9331 on 29 May 2026 and the lowest ₱13.9316 on 26 Oct 2023. By monthly average, the highest since October 2023 was ₱21.1738 in May 2026. Source: Bank of Israel.
Will the Israeli shekel go up against the peso?
Nobody can know that in advance. It moves with interest-rate decisions of the BSP and the central bank of Israel, trade and remittance flows, and global risk appetite. Over the last year it ranged from ₱17.4744 (17 Oct 2025) to ₱21.9331 (29 May 2026).
Why does my bank or app give less than ₱20.5059?
This is a reference rate with no spread; anyone buying shekels from you pays less and may add a fee. Neither BPI nor Metrobank posts a board rate for the Israeli shekel (boards as of 2 Oct 2026, 4:19 PM and 2 Oct 2026, 9:09 AM), so ask the sender to have the money paid out in pesos and compare the pesos that arrive.
Which rate applies on a weekend or holiday?
The Bank of Israel and the BSP publish only on their working days, so the 2 Oct 2026 figure stays in use until both publish again, Monday 5 Oct 2026 at the earliest. Source: Bank of Israel rates page.
Does the sender owe tax on a large gift from Israel?
Possibly. Donor's tax is 6% of a donor's total gifts above ₱250,000 in a calendar year (NIRC Sec. 99 as amended by RA 10963), and the sender owes it, not the recipient. At the 2 Oct 2026 rate, ₱250,000 is 12,191.62 ILS. Source: RA 10963 (TRAIN), Sec. 99.
