Philippine units of measurement information


A number of units of measurement were used in the Philippines to measure various quantities including mass, area, and capacity. The metric system has been compulsory in the country since 1860, during the late Spanish colonial period.[1] A mixture of Spanish units and indigenous units were used alongside American units in the 1900s.
