Gold Price in Philippines
This page presents gold prices in the Philippines as the international spot-price equivalent converted at market exchange rates. It is a general guide, not a price quoted by a Philippine jeweller, dealer or pawnshop. Gold buying in the Philippines spans mall jewellery stores, Chinatown shops in Manila, and a large pawnshop trade where gold is both bought and pledged for short-term loans. Many overseas Filipino workers also send money home that ends up in gold jewellery as family savings. The peso price follows the international market and the peso exchange rate, while shop prices add premiums, making charges and dealer margins.
In the Philippines, gold is most commonly priced per gram for jewellery and per troy ounce for investment bars and coins. Jewellery is sold in 24, 22, 18 and 14 karat grades, so confirming the karat matters as much as the weight.

Gold in Philippines: currency, quoting and coins
Market context
Gold buyers in Philippines trade in the same international market as buyers everywhere else: there is no separate local spot price. What differs locally is the currency, taxes, premiums and shop charges — the metal itself is priced from the one international benchmark, converted here into PHP.
Currency
The currency is the Philippine peso (PHP), divided into 100 centavos. Prices on this page are the international spot price converted at the current market exchange rate for PHP; the conversion rate, not a local dealer board, is what moves the figures here when exchange rates move.
How gold is quoted locally
The international benchmark is quoted per troy ounce in US dollars. Local shops in Philippines most commonly quote by the gram for jewellery and small bars; the per-ounce, per-gram and per-kilo figures above are all the same converted price, only the unit changes.
National coin
No national bullion coin is named on this page for Philippines. Whatever coin or bar a dealer stocks, its value follows weight and purity first — confirm both, and the total price including any premium, before buying.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does a Philippine jeweller's price differ from this page?
Jewellers add making charges, taxes and a margin to the metal value, while this page shows only the converted spot-price equivalent.
Why are pawnshops important in the Philippine gold trade?
Pawnshops buy, sell and accept gold as collateral, so they are a major everyday channel for Filipinos turning jewellery into cash and back again.
What affects the gold price in Philippine pesos?
The peso price depends on the international gold price and the peso exchange rate, so currency moves can change the local figure.
What should I check before buying gold in the Philippines?
Confirm weight, karat, making charges and total price, compare mall and independent sellers, and keep the receipt and any certificate.
Pricing methodology
Gold Updates takes one XAU spot quote in USD, converts it at the current market exchange rate for PHP, then derives grams (ounce / 31.1034768), kilograms (grams x 1000) and tolas (grams x 11.6638038). Purity multiplies by karat / 24, applied once. Full details: Data Sources & Methodology.
