Manila - SPA
Philippine share prices closed more than 2 per cent higher for the third straight day Friday, as concerns eased over apossible change in US monetary policy.
The 30-share composite index of the Philippine Stock Exchange added 137.28 points, or 2.17 per cent, to close at 6,465.28.
Analysts said market sentiment was partly boosted by Wall Street\'s 114-point rise overnight, after a US Federal Reserve official calmed fears about a plan to cut back on stimulus measures.
