Money sent home by Filipinos abroad jumped by 3.3% to a record high of $35.634 billion in 2025, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) reported on Monday.

Based on central bank data, cash remittances rose by 4.2% to $3.522 billion in December from $3.38 billion in the same month in 2024, as overseas Filipino workers (OFW) sent more money home for the holiday season.

This brought the total cash remittances for the entire year to $35.634 billion, up by 3.3% annually. This exceeded the BSP’s 3% growth estimate or $35.5 billion in remittances.

“Overseas Filipino cash remittances hit a record $3.52 billion in December 2025, bringing full-year inflows to an all-time high of $35.63 billion, 3.3% higher than the $34.49 billion recorded in 2024,” the central bank said in a statement.

Month on month, money sent home by OFWs soared by 21.03% from $2.91 billion in November.

Meanwhile, personal remittances rose by 4.2% to $3.892 billion in December from $3.733 billion a year ago.

This drove full-year personal remittances to $39.619 billion, climbing by 3.3% from the $38.341 billion logged at end-December 2024. — Katherine K. Chan

Beijing is shelving its antitrust case against Google, as the United States and China ramp up negotiations over TikTok and Nvidia during a tense period in relations. People briefed on the matter said China’s State Administration for Market Regulation chose to end the competition inquiry into Google, a status in Chinese called “zhongzhi”, the Financial Times reported on Thursday, The FT added that Google has not yet received formal paperwork confirming the closure of the case. After talks with Chinese counterparts in Madrid, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said a September 17 deadline that could have disrupted the popular social media app in the United States pushed negotiators toward a possible agreement. He noted the deadline could be extended by 90 days to finish the terms, without giving specifics. Bessent said that when commercial details are made public, the arrangement would keep cultural features of TikTok that Chinese negotiators want to protect. “They’re interested in Chinese characteristics of the app, which they think are soft power. We don’t care about Chinese characteristics. We care about national security,” Bessent told reporters at the close of two days of meetings. Trump hinted at possible Chinese stake in TikTok Asked whether China might hold a stake, former President Donald Trump said, “We haven’t decided that but it looks to me, and I’m speaking to President Xi on Friday, for confirmation of that.” A Trump has said the platform aided his re-election last year, and his personal account counts 15 million followers. The White House launched an official TikTok account last month. Any deal may still need approval from the Republican-led Congress.
