If you’re planning to send money from the UK to the Philippines or vice versa next month, here’s a quick breakdown of what’s happening with the British pound (GBP) and the Philippine peso (PHP), and what you can expect in December 2025.
GBP to PHP: Where It Stands
A quick look at where the Pound and Peso currently sit and what this means for the month ahead.
GBP to PHP has recently been firm, supported by a generally resilient UK Pound and a still‑soft Philippine Peso. Remittances into the Philippines remain strong, but they have not been enough to meaningfully lift the Peso. Overall, GBP remains on the stronger side of the pair heading into next month.
What’s Driving GBP to PHP?
A brief explanation of the main forces moving the Pound and Peso.
UK economic stability: Markets still view the UK as relatively steady compared with many emerging economies. This supports the Pound.
Global US dollar strength cycle: When the dollar is strong, emerging‑market currencies like the Philippine Peso often struggle. Even though this is a USD story, its impact spills into GBP to PHP because the Peso stays weaker across the board.
Philippine remittances: Remittances help support the Peso but are not currently strong enough to offset global pressures.
Timing and short‑term swings: Exchange rates change frequently even within a day. Retail platforms often lag behind market pricing and include fees.
What Do the Charts Say?
GBP to PHP remains in an uptrend, meaning the Pound has been generally gaining over time.
Key levels to watch:
Support around 71.50 to 72.00 PHP. If the pair drops, it may find buying interest here.
Resistance around 74.50 to 75.00 PHP. This is the area where GBP usually struggles to push higher.
If GBP breaks above 75.00 PHP, the next leg higher becomes more likely. If it falls below 71.50 PHP, the trend may weaken.

What to Watch in December 2025
Key events and data that could shift the direction of GBP to PHP.
UK inflation and Bank of England commentary. Signs of higher inflation could keep UK interest rates elevated, supporting the Pound.
Philippine inflation and growth data. Softer data would likely weaken the Peso.
Global risk sentiment. If investors become cautious, emerging currency weakness could continue, keeping GBP to PHP elevated.
Any change in the USD cycle. A strong dollar tends to drag the Peso lower against all currencies, including the Pound.
Risks Ahead
Simple reminders of what could disrupt the outlook.
A sudden improvement in Philippine economic data could strengthen the Peso more than expected.
A surprise signal from the Bank of England hinting at earlier interest rate cuts could weaken the Pound.
Major global shocks may cause unpredictable currency swings.
What This Means If You’re Sending GBP to PHP Abroad
A stronger Pound means you get more Pesos for every Pound you send. Right now, conditions still generally favor senders converting GBP into PHP. If the Pound rises toward the 75.00 PHP level, that would be an especially good moment for senders.
If the pair moves back toward 72.00 PHP, the Peso is gaining strength and you would receive fewer Pesos. Timing can matter, and checking rates frequently helps.
In short
GBP to PHP is likely to stay firm in the coming month, with the Pound maintaining an advantage. Watch the 72.00 support and 75.00 resistance levels. Pound strength means a favorable environment for sending money to the Philippines, especially if GBP holds above current levels.
