The Survey
In a survey (released 2008) conducted by the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) showed that less than half of 1% of Filipinos is investing in Philippine stock market. According to the survey, there were 430,681 accounts being maintained for Filipino investors by PSE trading participants in 2007. These accounts represented not even 1/2 of 1 percent of our 89 million population. What is happening here?
Of the total, only 103,412 or just a little over 1/10 of 1 percent of Filipinos were considered active or involved in at least one trade in a year. In contrast, other Asian nations have high involvement in their respective stock markets.
Putting things in perspective, below are some estimated numbers:
- Singapore - 33%
- Japan - 25%
- Australia - 25%
- Malaysia - 18%
- Hong Kong - 17%
- Korea - 10%
- Philippines - 0.1%
The Effort
The PSE website already contains much information that Filipino investors can use to aid them in making wise decisions in the buying and selling of stocks. Many others are also offering stock-related classroom training, newsletters, or websites.
Also in an effort to boost participation in the stock market, PSE has partnered with the Global News Network (GNN) to provide a stock market show that aims to educate Filipinos through live television and internet broadcast.
The GOAL
These has sparked our interest to help in “spreading the word” about the Philippine Stock Market. We believe that awareness and education of Filipinos are key components to increase participation in stock trading. The [dot] NEWBie website is another step in trying to achieve this. We want participation of 1%, 5%, 10%, or even higher. We will be happy even if we can just convert a few Filipinos to be stock market investors.
At [dot] NEWBie, we actually aim a considerable amount of change. But we need participation of fellow Filipinos who are already investors. Please contact through our contact form with any of the following.

Great information about stock trading. I admit that I’ve been hesitant to try out trading because of the lack of information and the complexity involved in learning it.
I would love this site to be my number one stop for everything about stock trading but I am really annoyed by the huge ads you put right before your content. You can place ads in a more strategic way without sacrificing the user’s experience.
Thank you.

good new site to promote the stock market. my suggestion is that you feature links on this site to others that are also involved with investing, so that will make it easier for you to refer and share info with newbies.
hi! good luck to everyone this is really a welcome experience to me as a beginner in stock trading.
Very low because there are a lot of political noise, influencing stock prices eg BEL, unregulated insider trading, and unethical practices, low standards and unenforced rules compared to HK and Sing bourses, transparency issue, and many more. How can we trust our money to the PSE ?
That is intresting
hi, it’s good to read something informative about stock trading. still a newbie here and hoping to learn more and eventually get into the circle of buying and selling stocks.
interesting….have to study this first

Hi! just started the process of investing in stock market. I am currently filling up an application form for one of the online stockbroker. This blog is really of great help. Thank you very much for all the information.
hello! i find it more easy to understand the rules, guidelines and procedure investing at PSE and for that matter i will start choosing an online stock trading. I think investing at PSE its not very complicated as can be better than HYIP which it cost me money and sleepless night..jejeje..
I was thankful that i found your site. I am going on vacation to the philippines this April 27, and long back I was planning to invest to PSE but i don’t know the procedures. What trigger me also to invest is that one of my Indian colleague told me that it’s better to invest in the stock market than doing a business. could you pls help me out cause I’m really eager to invest. Just inform by e-mail for any info regarding Philippines stock markets. Thanks and more power.
Newbei here and interested to learn things about stock market.I’ve been searching a lot of sites but most of the advice were not specific and if happens its to technical for the beginners.Somebody could extend a help.
Anyway i just observed that the moderator wants to know that this article is being read,indeed yes,but no one cares to reply even himself?
Kaya po siguro kulang ang pinoy na may hilig sa stocks e kulang sila sa information/education at kung meron man mahirap intindihin lalo na sa baguhan… walang centralized source of info na madaling intindihin ng mga newbie… mahirap magkalkal sa net hehee. website nga lang ng PSE mahirap intindihin. salamat at meron etong website nyo kahit papaano e naliliwanagan ako kasi ako balak ko mag invest sa stocks at eto nagreresearch kung papaano.
hi, thanks for this information. im trying to learn about stock market. tama si batas, hindi aware ang mga pinoy sa stock market kasi kulang sa information ang philippine stock market to reach out to young investors. one reason why phils. is still behind among other asian countries. how i wish there’s an investment course in school. i wish to know if there’s a mininmum amount to start, how can an ofw like me can invest even if im not in phils. …mabuhay..!
I downloaded an online practise-yourself-trading game and whoa I couldn’t understand the graphs. Currently, I’m surfing for seminars to get me going. Lucky me, there are free offers.
