MOP to PHP today: Macanese pataca to Philippine peso
1 Macanese pataca = ₱7.7643, and ₱1,000 buys 128.79 MOP. The BSP does not publish a Macanese pataca rate; this figure is the Monetary Authority of Macao rate worked through the BSP dollar rate. Against 2 Oct 2025, when it was ₱7.2659, 1,000 MOP brings ₱498.39 more (1,000 × ₱0.4984). Because the pataca is linked to the Hong Kong dollar, which the HKMA keeps between 7.75 and 7.85 per US dollar, it moves against the peso almost exactly as the Hong Kong dollar does. 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: Monetary Authority of Macao interbank middle rate of 8.0816 MOP 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$ ÷ 8.0816 MOP per US$ = ₱7.7643.

Receiving MOP transfers in the Philippines
Cash remittances from Macau reached US$102 million in 2025 (BSP, preliminary), and the DMW deployed 30,627 Filipino workers there that year (DMW 2025 deployment).
Patacas 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 Macanese pataca 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 MOP 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 MOP 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.
MOP to PHP questions
How much is 2,000 MOP in Philippine pesos?
2,000 × ₱7.7643 = ₱15,528.61 at the 2 Oct 2026 rate, and 10,000 MOP is ₱77,643.04. What arrives is lower by the provider's fee and rate margin.
What is the highest MOP to PHP rate?
In the three years to 2 Oct 2026 the highest daily value was ₱7.7786 on 16 Sep 2026 and the lowest ₱6.8486 on 27 May 2025. By monthly average, the highest since October 2023 was ₱7.7508 in September 2026. Source: Monetary Authority of Macao.
Will the Macanese pataca go up against the peso?
Nobody can know that in advance. With the MOP fixed to the Hong Kong dollar, watch the peso-dollar rate and the BSP's policy-rate decisions. In the last year the MOP ranged from ₱7.1420 to ₱7.7786.
Why does my bank or app give less than ₱7.7643?
This is a reference rate with no spread; anyone buying patacas from you pays less and may add a fee. Neither BPI nor Metrobank posts a board rate for the Macanese pataca (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 Monetary Authority of Macao 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: Monetary Authority of Macao rates page.
Does the sender owe tax on a large gift from Macau?
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 32,198.64 MOP. Source: RA 10963 (TRAIN), Sec. 99.
