Nice group. These are interesting and collectable but most of your coins are well circulated. Unless you got lucky and have a rare date they're probably worth in $1-$2 range or silver value for the bigger coins. You listed the dates, but a lot of these also have mintmarks as well.
Thank you guys! Actually there's a lot more of these, I just picked a few from my mom's box. I just wanted to know if it was worth after all these years storing it. I thought it was all about how old it was but when I researched more, some later ones have more value. I'm still getting into this, but I love this community
I have always likes these too. They have cool designs and are inexpensive, for the most part to collect.
It looks like you could have the start of an interesting collection. You should be able to find info on the dates and mints between 1903 and 1945, put together a want list, and try to fill in the blanks. I started doing this years ago and have about 80% of them. and I don't think I paid more than a couple bucks (or a little over melt value for the 1 pesos) for anything.
You can look up any coin. (Google) List country, denomination and year. And you generally get 2 decent sites that will show you a picture of the coin (so you can see you have the right one) it's metal content. Silver, etc. And an approximate value depending on condition.
Don't know how bad it was back in the day, but many of these coins were counterfeited. My wife is from there, and was mystified why I was so anxious to buy a magnet before we hit the market, where many vendors sell these old pesos. First place we stopped, he was eager to sell, until I used the magnet down, and several coins jumped onto it. Suddenly, we became invisible to the vendor. These coins are a good source of silver, as they never seemed to catch on with collectors.

I remember the first time I saw a Philippines cent. I wondered what kind of coin this was with a US shield on it! Interesting coins. Welcome to CoinTalk
