With P2.085 billion in trades, DigiPlus rose by 14.58 percent—the third top gainer of the day—to close at P33.80. Investors took profits after the stock hit its intraday high of P36.05.

Last week, the company had dropped significantly, even touching its floor price, after investors panicked over bills filed in Congress seeking to limit participants in its games.

Holding firms and mining and oil posted losses of 0.006 percent and 2.32 percent, respectively, while financials rose 0.88 percent, industrials gained 0.47 percent, services climbed 0.79 percent, and property advanced 0.74 percent.

The slight decline in holding firms was due to a retreat in the share price of SM Investments, the market bellwether, which fell by P4.50, despite reaching a high of P888.

Ayala Land and SM Prime both closed at their highest price points—P27.80 (up 2.21 percent) and P23.75 (up 0.85 percent), respectively. Meanwhile, Vista Land and Robinsons Land posted declines.
