Why this room mattered
Spring 2026 was the stress test.
Most people were spectators.
01
₱60 and falling.
The peso broke a historic line, and the country entered a national energy emergency.
02
The door to global markets narrowed.
With global brokers shut out, investors were asking where their capital could still go.
03
From spectator to architect.
Equities Edge was for the people who wanted to take control of their own portfolio.
Who was in the room
This room was for people ready to act.
Investors managing their own portfolios
Professionals and OFW families earning or saving in pesos
Business owners protecting company and family wealth
Long-time viewers of the Breaking Ground films
Eighty-three people in the room. Every one of them there by choice.
What happened in the room
An evening built for decisions. Hosted by John Dang.
The institutional smart-money plays for 2026, the research behind them and the tactical execution, followed by direct conversation with the speakers.
