Among the luxury goods are wares sold by auction houses like Salcedo which held its first sale under a tent in 2010 and now has five times the attendees at Manila’s Peninsula Hotel:

“We expect prices to go up as they do every auction,” Salcedo’s Lerma said. “The rich will spend to make every part of their life filled with joy.”
