Philippines Is Losing Dollars Faster Than Any Country in Asia — Here's Why

Philippines is losing dollar reserves faster than any other country in Asia — and the cause is a war thousands of miles away. Since the Iran conflict began, Philippine reserves have dropped from a record $112.7 billion to around $104 billion, the steepest fall in the region. In this video, we break down why foreign reserves matter, how rising oil prices and a weakening peso are draining the country's financial shield, and what President Marcos himself said about the limits of defending the currency. This isn't a crisis — but it's a warning sign that every Filipino, and every investor watching Asia, should understand. Subscribe to Indo Pacific Report for more defense and geopolitical updates:
