Local stocks advanced for the third day even as the government reported inflation rate quickened to 5.3 percent in August

The 30-company Philippine Stock Exchange index rose 10.32 points, or 0.17 percent, to close at 6,225 on Tuesday, while the broader all-shares index inched up 3.7 points to settle at 3,360.14.
