Most of the time, the price differential was minimal. However, there were
times that a person could buy on one market and simultaneously sell on the
other for a profit. That is a form of arbitrage trading.
The Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) has announced that it has finalized the
rules to allow listing and trading of issues in both Philippine peso and the
US dollar.
This is not a new idea. In 2002 the idea was finalized and apparently started
trading in 2003. The trading and settlement with dollar denominations was
intended to be strictly for offshore issues listed on foreign exchanges, such as
in the US, Canada, Hong Kong and the UK. The volume and results of that
program are unknown, as all information on the success or failure has
disappeared or was never widely available

The trading, pricing and settlement details of the DDS are that the dollar
price will be determined by the previous day’s closing price on the Philippine
Dealing System. Any currency rate changes today will not take effect
until tomorrow.
