OFFICE VACANCY in Metro Manila is expected to hover around 20% this year, as take-up from healthcare and business process outsourcing (BPO) tenants is outpaced by new supply, according to real estate consultancy Savills Philippines.

“I think office vacancy will remain at more or less 20% in 2026 because of new supply being completed,” Savills Philippines Chief Operating Officer Rosario “Cha” P. Carbonell said during the firm’s property market briefing on Wednesday.

“Maybe there will be more transactions in 2026, but at the same time, a lot of that will be offset by transactions that will likely come from tenant relocations,” she added.

For 2026, the Metro Manila office market has an upcoming supply of 403,806 square meters (sq.m.), Savills said.

Nearly half (43%) of the new supply will come from the Bay Area, 19% from the Makati central business district (CBD), 12% from Bonifacio Global City (BGC), 12% from Ortigas Center, with the rest located in Quezon City (10%) and the Alabang CBD (4%).

“Beyond 2026, new office supply is expected to thin out significantly, reflecting more cautious development activity,” the report noted.

About 770,000 sq.m. of office transactions were recorded in 2025, with 75% classified as relocations and 25% as expansions.

The information technology-business process management sector accounted for 58% of demand last year, followed by traditional firms (31%), flexible office spaces (7%), and government tenants (4%).

John Corpus, executive director of tenant representation at Savills Philippines, said demand has been concentrated in PEZA-accredited and green-certified buildings.

Meanwhile, office rentals softened in 2025 amid elevated vacancies, he added.

Average rents last year were highest in BGC at P1,024 per sq.m., followed by the Makati CBD (P973 per sq.m.), Bay Area (P699 per sq.m.), Quezon City (P667 per sq.m.), Ortigas Center (P646 per sq.m.), and Alabang CBD (P572 per sq.m.). — Beatriz Marie D. Cruz

Is Doge Losing Steam As Traders Choose Pepeto For The Best Crypto Investment?

The post Is Doge Losing Steam As Traders Choose Pepeto For The Best Crypto Investment? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 17:39 Is dogecoin really fading? As traders hunt the best crypto to buy now and weigh 2025 picks, Dogecoin (DOGE) still owns the meme coin spotlight, yet upside looks capped, today’s Dogecoin price prediction says as much. Attention is shifting to projects that blend culture with real on-chain tools. Buyers searching “best crypto to buy now” want shipped products, audits, and transparent tokenomics. That frames the true matchup: dogecoin vs. Pepeto. Enter Pepeto (PEPETO), an Ethereum-based memecoin with working rails: PepetoSwap, a zero-fee DEX, plus Pepeto Bridge for smooth cross-chain moves. By fusing story with tools people can use now, and speaking directly to crypto presale 2025 demand, Pepeto puts utility, clarity, and distribution in front. In a market where legacy meme coin leaders risk drifting on sentiment, Pepeto’s execution gives it a real seat in the “best crypto to buy now” debate. First, a quick look at why dogecoin may be losing altitude. Dogecoin Price Prediction: Is Doge Really Fading? Remember when dogecoin made crypto feel simple? In 2013, DOGE turned a meme into money and a loose forum into a movement. A decade on, the nonstop momentum has cooled; the backdrop is different, and the market is far more selective. With DOGE circling ~$0.268, the tape reads bearish-to-neutral for the next few weeks: hold the $0.26 shelf on daily closes and expect choppy range-trading toward $0.29–$0.30 where rallies keep stalling; lose $0.26 decisively and momentum often bleeds into $0.245 with risk of a deeper probe toward $0.22–$0.21; reclaim $0.30 on a clean daily close and the downside bias is likely neutralized, opening room for a squeeze into the low-$0.30s.
