MANILA, Philippines (AP) - Philippine shares ended lower Friday as investors continued to take profit following the release of disappointing U.S. jobs data, which triggered a sharp drop on Wall Street overnight, traders said.
The 30-company Philippine Stock Exchange Index closed down 14.02 points, or 1.1 percent, at 1270.77. The main index has given up 2.4 percent since Wednesday, after setting a 13-month closing high of 1302.22 Tuesday.
