PESO AT 60: The "National Emergency" No One is Prepared For

Описание

Join us for our event May 7th: Equity Edge: The Global Intelligence Briefing: https://eventsize.com/event/1775551393914-breaking-ground-live-the-mentor-session The Philippines has officially entered a National Energy Emergency, and the Peso has breached the historic 60-per-dollar mark. Is your wealth protected, or are you holding onto a "Value Trap"? In this episode of Breaking Ground, I sit down with April Lee Tan, Chief Equity Strategist at COL Financial, for a brutally honest look at the 2026 economic landscape. We move past the headlines to discuss why the current oil disruption is nearly triple the severity of the 1970s crisis and what that means for your local investments. We dive deep into the "Brutal Math" of the Philippine real estate market. April explains why physical condos in BGC and Makati have become "Value Traps" yielding as low as 1%–2%—and why the smartest money is pivoting toward Treasury Bonds and REITs. In this episode, we cover: • The Energy Crisis: Why the PH is uniquely vulnerable with only one remaining refinery. • The 60-Peso Reality: Who actually wins in a high-dollar economy (and it’s not just OFWs). • The "Unfair Advantage": How April navigated male-dominated boardrooms and why she chose self-liquidating assets over designer status symbols. • The PSEi Outlook: Why the Philippine stock market is currently a "Coiled Spring" despite the maximum pessimism. If you’re tired of generic financial advice and want to understand the logic behind the 2026 system reset, this conversation is for you. #PhilippinesEconomy2026 #AprilLeeTan #PesoAt60 #RealEstateInvesting #BGC #FinancialFreedom #PSEi #BreakingGround #InvestingLogic Chapter Timestamps • 00:00 – Rapid Fire: National Emergency, 60-Peso, & BGC Condos • 03:12 – The Reality of the National Energy Emergency • 03:32 – "Means of Flats": The true cost of oil in the Philippines • 04:47 – Is 2026 worse than the 1970s Oil Crisis? • 05:56 – Why the Philippines has only one oil refinery left • 07:59 – Geopolitical Traps: The US,
