The manufacturing sector in the Philippines continued to expand in April, albeit at a slower rate, the latest survey from Nikkei revealed on Thursday with a nine-month low manufacturing PMI score of 50.9.

Individually, output growth fell to a 19-month low, while new orders increased at the weakest rate since July.
Selling charges rose at the softest pace in almost two years.
