According to Philstar Biz, gold continues to be a trusted store of value for many Filipinos amid long-term currency depreciation and a growing consumer preference for resilient assets.
The precious metal remains attractive as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty, particularly as the Philippine peso faces sustained pressure against major currencies.
Industry analysts note that Filipino investors continue to allocate portions of their portfolios to gold, both in physical form and through financial instruments, as part of a broader strategy to preserve wealth over the long term.
