According to Wikipedia, the Philippine Peso symbol is "₱". It looks like 
a capital "P" with two horizontal lines through the upper bowl. The 
Unicode code point is U+20B1.

What font are you using to format the report? I suspect that not all 
fonts contain this character. On my Mac, the main system fonts like 
Arial and Courier have it, the pan-Unicode fonts like Noto Sans have it, 
but more specialised text fonts like Calibri do not.
