Not that bad really when compared during the AFC.

What I am more concerned of is the effects of the trade war.

the experts are also saying that when all build build build project was really on a roll. especially connecting luzon visayas and mindanao via bridge. Philippines will be bankrupt daw, we will owe a lot of money to china with high interest at the same time china will have more guts to exploit our sea's baka pati benham i pang colateral na. then.... if the bridge was indeed built sa bandang visayas. isang malakas na bagyo lang sira na. hinde bale sana kung may insurance sa china yun mga bridge na gagawin nila.

pag nakagawa na sila ng isang bridge, gagawa pa ng backup bridge. kaya tuloy ang ligaya sa gastos

Economics of Jueteng

“Now if I don’t have a replacement for jueteng, what can I do? It’s easy. If there’s another form of gambling that takes over, I’ll say, ‘You get out of there’ and arrest them all. Then what is the activity—economic activity? None. Now if there’s jueteng … at least money goes around. Some people will get hungry, others will be able to eat, [but] there’s commercial activity,” he said.

Economic Planning Sec Pernia said the PH remains on track to meet the government’s 2018 growth target of between 7-8%.

nope

new taxes took away spending money from consumers

stagnant wages couldn't keep up with rising inflation (which ate into the tax cuts)

BSP total 50 bps rate high means higher interest for loans (credit card, auto loans, housing loans etc)

brakes have been applied on the economy

we'll see evidence in upcoming economic data
