Investing in the Philippines Made Stronger with RCBC Hexagon Club
The world is changing faster than ever. Markets shift, global economies rise and dip, and uncertainty has become a constant. Yet in the middle of all this, the Philippines continues to stand tall as a resilient and promising investment destination. This resilience is seen by many wealthy millennials and high-net-worth individuals as a sign of opportunity.
At RCBC, we’ve seen how confidence in the Philippine market has helped investors not only protect their wealth but also grow it across industries. The time is right to look at where those opportunities lie, and how a trusted partner can help you make the most of them.
Why the Philippines Remains a Strong Choice for Investors
Despite challenges abroad, the Philippines is proving to be one of Asia’s strongest performers. Economists project a 6% economic growth rate, placing the country among the fastest-growing in the region. For investors, that means a supportive environment where businesses expand, consumer demand grows, and assets hold their value.
The country also maintains positive credit ratings, signaling to both local and foreign investors that the economy is stable, with room for further upgrades. Add to this the lower inflation brought by reduced rice tariffs and a stronger peso that gives predictability to investments, and the picture becomes even clearer: resilience is more than a headline, it’s the reality.
As a matter of fact, Michael Ricafort, RCBC Chief Economist, said, “These are exciting, albeit challenging, times. While the global economy wrestles with high inflation and slower growth, the Philippines remains one of the fastest-growing economies in Asia, backed by favorable demographics, strong remittances, and a thriving BPO sector.”
These fundamentals matter. It provides investors with the assurance that decisions made today will stand strong tomorrow.
Investing in Real Estate the Smart Way
Real estate has long been a favorite investment option for Filipino investors. But with talk of oversupply in condominiums, some may hesitate. Real estate investor Mic Chan addressed this directly at the “Building Investments Across Industries” webinar hosted by the RCBC Hexagon Club.
He stated, “There is a talk about oversupply in the condo market, however if your property is in the right location, and you know how to respond to the market, it will generate cash flow.”
It’s a reminder that property investment is less about the noise and more about strategy. Location, timing, and responsiveness make all the difference.
Right now, the timing looks especially favorable. Chan added, “Now is the time to buy. Prices are correcting and financing terms from banks are the most flexible they’ve been in the past 20 years.”
For high-net-worth individuals, this window offers an opportunity to secure prime assets before the market rebounds. Whether for cash flow or long-term value, property remains one of the strongest pillars of wealth.
Turning Art into a Long-Term Investment
For years, art was seen as a passion purchase. Something to admire and pass down, but not necessarily part of a wealth strategy. That perception is changing.
Architect and curator Gerry Torres explains it best:
“Art is no longer just for collectors. It is a smart long-term asset that appreciates in value while preserving culture. Even contemporary Filipino artists are now commanding millions at auctions. You need not break the bank to start.”
This shift has been driven by growing recognition of Filipino talent in the global art scene, as well as the increasing appetite for unique, non-traditional assets. Art combines two key values: emotional connection and financial growth. It’s a way of investing in culture while still making sound financial choices.
How Luxury Goods Are Becoming Investment Pieces
From watches that track centuries of heritage to handbags that double as heirlooms, luxury goods are also emerging as investment-worthy assets.
Luxury advisor Aimee Hashim highlights the transformation. Hashim stated, “Luxury is evolving into a high-performing investment category. From watches to handbags, the right luxury items, if chosen wisely, not only hold their value but appreciate through time. It is all about craftsmanship, rarity, and legacy.”
In a market where tangibility and legacy matter, luxury goods offer both. They are portable, prestigious, and capable of appreciating with time. For investors looking to diversify beyond stocks or property, this category provides a blend of financial potential and lifestyle value.
Why Acting Now Matters for Investors
The current market environment is unique. With potential interest rate cuts from both the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) and the US Federal Reserve, capital markets may open up even more opportunities in fixed income and equities. Pair this with the country’s demographic strengths—young, skilled workers, steady remittances, and a thriving outsourcing industry—and the case for investing becomes stronger.
For those with the resources, delaying decisions may mean missing out on optimal entry points. The resilience of the Philippine market means that wealth can grow in multiple directions, whether through traditional assets or newer categories, such as art and luxury.
