The Philippine economy expanded 5.4% y/y slower than anticipated in the first quarter, highlighting the challenges faced by policymakers even before the effects of the Trump administration's tariffs take effect.

What is the best investment for an OFW?

A detached single-family residential house or a lot of 200 square meters or more in a Class A or B subdivision is the best investment one can ever make, beating other types of real estate, stocks , bonds, insurance, and jewelry for the last 8 years. It has returned an average of 300% or 37.5% per year in Iloilo City, while you can get only single-digit returns for bonds and insurance. While Philippine stocks are the worst with around a -20% loss. Gold is almost as good as real estate, but its limited accessibility in the Philippines and inconsistent return makes it not suitable for a regular OFW.
