Foreign investors also ended the day in net selling territory. Foreign buying totaled PHP 5.49 billion, while foreign selling reached PHP 5.59 billion, resulting in a net foreign selling of PHP 107.55 million.

Despite the decline, trading remained relatively active, suggesting that investors are still selectively positioning in key stocks while waiting for stronger market cues.
