Although the Philippine property market has drawn increasing attention in the recent years, details about the Philippine property market are still limited.

The risk-adjusted performance analysis and significance of listed property companies in the Philippines is assessed over Jan. 1999 – May 2010, with the ongoing property investment issues highlighted.
