Investors on the Philippine bourse secured profits from recent rallies, dragging the benchmark down 1.5 percent over three straight sessions.

The index lost 0.69 percent to close at 6685.1, trimming its gain of as much as 13.6 percent since early February. "We are looking at a week or two for the market to shed some more," Manny added. Stocks in Malaysia and Singapore also lost ground on Friday, while Indonesia's Jakarta SE Composite Index <.JKSE> bucked the trend to edge up 0.13 percent. Vietnam rose 1.5 percent, but thin trade and lack of supportive news could pull the index down soon, analysts said.
