FAQS
How to earn dividends from REITs?
To earn dividends from REITs, you need to buy some shares of
an established REIT company with a good track record. Hold
your shares for a year or more and wait for the payment of cash
dividends (they are paid every quarter). You can also invest
more shares regularly to earn more dividends.
FAQS

Exchange (PSE). REIT fees include a commission fee of .25% of
the gross trade, .005% PSE Transaction Fee, Securities
Clearing Corp. of the Philippines (SCCP) fee of .01%, 12% VAT of
the commission, and sales tax of .006% when selling shares.

good strategy to manage their portfolio.
