check out these 2 headlines

a nice sounding headline from abs-cbn and a bad sounding headline from rappler (of course always negative spin from rappler)

so now inflation isn't rising as fast as expected

another rate hike from BSP in unlikely this month (June 21)

BSP too cautious it might kill growth

they prefer growth and inflation running hot

than slower growth with lower inflation

BSP Governor Nestor Espenilla Jr. said that though inflation hit the lower end of their forecast, outlook continues to be a concern & requires close attention.

which means they're not going to do anything this month and wait for more data

Hypothetical naman pala.

P10K sa 2nd or 3rd class province pwede pa siguro. Pero sa 1st class province, good luck. Rent pa lang eh. Tapos what if nag-aaral na mga bata.

ang mura naman pala ng cost of living sa pilipinas. is NEDA really doing their job? are they trying to supress something? or baka sa hotel din naka tira si USEC at charge lahat sa agency expenses niya kaya hinde niya alam real scenario. tapak naman sila sa lupa minsan.

P3,834 is enough to feed the same family of five for 30 days. << this is very funny. araw araw asin at kamote siguro ulam ng pamilya, pag linggo instant noodles mejo bongga.

it was already explained, that the 10K figure was used, for ease of computation.
the explain-er said that it was not meant that a family can live fine on 10K a month.

btw, disposable diapers are really expensive.
bird-s eye, washed after every use, is really cheaper, albeit more hassle.
