Only the mining and oil stocks charged ahead, their shine reflecting higher gold prices, with the sub-index surging 7.19 percent, up from 3.08 percent during the market recess.

Investors accelerated selling after the lunchtime break, with financials down 1.34 percent, compared to a 0.36 percent decline earlier in the session.

Industrials widened their loss from 0.02 percent to 0.32 percent; holding firms fell from 0.05 percent to 0.48 percent; services dropped from 0.45 percent to 1.36 percent; and property weakened from 0.03 percent to 0.78 percent.

Foreign investors traded actively on both fronts, with total transactions reaching ₱8.56 billion, resulting in net foreign buying of ₱122 million on ₱4.342 billion worth of purchases and ₱4.220 billion in sales.

Total trades amounted to ₱6.96 billion, with 85 gainers, 100 losers, and 56 unchanged.

Among mining shares, Apex Mining climbed 9.52 percent to ₱10.24, Philex Mining rose 10.09 percent to ₱8.73, and OceanaGold gained 3.57 percent to ₱29.00.

Market bellwether SM Investments closed at ₱700.50, down 0.21 percent, but about ₱200 below its high this year — underscoring the market’s slump amid corruption issues weighing on investor sentiment.
