Hi I would like to ask your good office regarding my unique situation. I am a Dual Citizen Filipino-British currently living in the Philippines. 
I have a concern regarding my retirement money. Recently in the UK they will change all their Bank Notes with a new feature in the money paper. 
Here in the Philippines they no longer accepts OLD paper money so I have to travel back to the UK to exchange my old bank Notes to the new one. Please help with the clearance in the departure area. Because the amount has exceeded to thw Limit amount allowed in the Flight. Thank You.
