    Sa totoo lang ako hindi.

    although alam natin na hindi naman "overnight" yung effect, pero ni bahagya wala ako maramdaman. lahat ng presyo tumataas pa rin.

    kaya mga OFW luging lugi na yata masyado.

    If it wasnt for the strong peso, we would have P50 per liter gasoline

    Pagbumili ka ng items sa Amazon.com, malaki ang difference.

    YES ! Ramdam na ramdam ko.

    Lumiit kita ko at hindi na magkasya yung $900/monthly budget allowance ko sa gastusin sa bahay. Kaya hinge ng hinge si misis na increasan ko raw allowance nya... Lumiit savings tuloy. OFW po ako.

    it's essentially an income drop of 20% for our small scale business.

    I hope the government quits flooding us with bogus stories of "booming economy".

    This country needs manufacturing infrastructure, heavy industries, and most of all, a better agricultural base - not focus on becoming a training ground for temporary high demand jobs such as nurses, call centers, and whatever else comes by.

    I have no idea of what comparative advantage this country even holds.

    No.

    In fact, we've been buying the same stuffs for our groceries every week and we are seeing an increase of at least 15% in cost for the same basket.

    So, there goes the strength of the peso....
