Share prices on the Philippine Stock Exchange snapped a two-day losing streak to close mostly in positive territory on Friday as fund managers went on window dressing for the first half of the year.

The benchmark PSEi gained 55.10 points or 0.71 percent to 7,843.16 at the closing bell. The broader All Shares increased by 29.38 points or 0.63 percent to 4,692.03.

"Philippine markets closed on a positive note this Friday and at the end of the first half of 2017 in a much anticipated window dressing session," Regina Capital Development Corp. business development head Luis Limlingan said.

Window dressing is a strategy used by fund managers to improve their portfolio performance by the end of the year or quarter, according to Investopedia.

Eagle Equities Inc. President Joseph Roxas also noted that window dressing spurred a rally late in the session.

More than 2.071 billion shares, valued at P9.903 billion, changed hands. Decliners led advancers, 118 to 89, and 38 issues were unchanged.

Week-on-week, the PSEI added 28.99 points or 0.37 percent from 7,843.16 on June 23. Year-to-date, it surged by 1,002.53 points or 14.65 percent from 6,840.63 on December 28, the last trading day of 2016. — VDS, GMA News

Veteran columnist Rigoberto Tiglao exposed the Land Transportation Office (LTO) records of former President Benigno Aquino III showing that he never bought or sold an expensive Porsche car. The LTO records proved that the former President did not sold his Porsche 911 Carrera car which he claimed he bought for P5 million. The controversial Porsche car of the former President made headlines just months into his presidency but he explained that he bought the luxury car with the proceeds he got when he sold his BMW.

A month or so nanatili sila sa Siargao at gandang-ganda sila sa mga lugar na pinag-syutingan nila. Stress-free raw. Hindi na-link sa isa’t-isa sina Jericho at Erich. Taken na kasi si Jericho at happily married kay Kim Jones. Unexpectedly, kay direk Paul Soriano na happily married kay Toni Gonzaga natsismis si Erich. Walang naniwala sa ka-cheapang isyu. Nagamit pa si Toni na kuno’y pinagselosan si Erich. Balitang may non-showbiz guy na nagpapasaya ngayon ng puso ni Erich.
