MANILA, Feb 23 (Reuters) - The Philippine Stock Exchange's daily trading session will return to its normal five-hour schedule starting next month, it said in a notice on Wednesday.

The trading hours were reduced last month as new COVID-19 cases hit daily records in the Philippines. Trading from March 1 will start at 9:30 a.m. (0130 GMT) and end at 3 p.m. (0700 GMT). (Reporting by Neil Jerome Morales; Editing by Martin Petty)
