Investing in Philippines ADRs / Philippines Stocks List

Telecommunications and BPO-outsourcing giant Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (NYSE: PHI), usually referred to as PLDT, is the only Philippines ADR that does not trade on the OTC. Foreign investors need to be aware that most other major Philippine stocks with OTC listings are actually listed entities of closely controlled family run conglomerates and there are no Philippines closed-end funds.

They may also be holdings of country or region specific ETFs or Indices.
