Gasoline, LPG, rice, wheat (flour), meat, chicken, electricity and water prices/rates are going up in this period of recession and reduced demand...I thought if demand is weak, and supply is stable..prices will go down..

I also agree with one of the posters that even car/vehicle prices are going up in the country even with almost zero demand today?

..what is happening right now is that supply is now becoming "unstable" thats why prices/rates are going up?

I know you love this country oca from your sojourn in UK to Australia and we all agree that this is the best place in the world for us.

Thanks Bro! Mahal ko itong Pilipinas. Kaya ako nanggagaliiti dahil sa observation ko, di na tama yung nangyayari. Saan ka ba naman nakakita ng convicted na tao ay pilit binabalik because of the media at majority ay tinatangkilik at minamahal pa.

Remember from other topic of yours. Ang daming nagrereact dahil sa tingin ng iba ay puro halos hearsay at manufactured topic lang ang thread mo. I don't participate in some discussion because of my commitment to my work and my family. Lahat ng topic mo ay may punto, unlike sa iba na nilalangaw.

Before go on vacation to the Philippines or any foreign countries you must do some homework, like how much you could afford. If you cannot spare a small change for the toilet, then there is a problem! How much is a peso, a dime! My goodness, thats is a very small amount usually you can find those under your sofa.

Everytime I come home to the Phils it cost me 100 pesos to have my jean launderd, 50 pesos per shirt. Am I happy?...yeah. Did I complain? NO. Why?.........Thier smiles are priceless

umuwi din ako sa Pinas recently. ok naman ah.

mas mahal nga mga bilihin. prices of staples were more than doubled since my last visit 6 years ago. but inflation is the price of progress. grabe ang Metro Manila, anlaki ng advances in infrastructure, business and the apparent wealth of Filipinos. the only other city in the world that i have observed to make so much progress so fast was Delhi, India.

wala din akong nakitang matapobre...if anything mas mabait sila sa balikbayan, lalo na yung magaganda at mababango na binibini sa mga "night spots" :naughty2:

TS, next time just bring more money

Baka naman ganito pa EDSA noong huling bakasyon ni TS, kaya nagugulat siya sa presyo.......

Pati toilet may bayad! Wow! ugaling mendicant( pulubi ) na pala ang isa sa ugaling pinoy.

Lahat papisopiso...

Sa tagal kong hindi nakauwi, lalong dumami ang mga bastos at mga matapobreng pinoy. Maraming mapansamantalang pinoy, lalo na yung mga big businesses at big family dito. Tama lang na mahirap ang Pilipinas. We deserve to be like this. We never learn from our mistakes!

Eh ikaw ata ang matapobre na pinoy este australian pala na tinutukoy mo.

1. Magkano ba rice sa australia?
2. Sa edsa shangrila 2nd floor cr ka ba nag cr me bayad talaga doon kasi
me attendant, lumipat ka sa cr na walang attendant para libre, sa third
or forth floor. Puede ka mag cr sa mga hotel ,petron, caltex, unioil shell o jollibee libre roon. Punta ka dito sa bahay ko papa cr kita ng libre.
Araw araw ako umi ihi wala naman nanghihingi sa akin ng piso. Ano ba gustong gusto mo sa cr na me bayad?
3. Pagme humihingi sa iyo ng piso, tanungin mo kung sino tatay nya at ipatawag mo at pag sabihan mo tungkol sa tamang asal. Ito ginagawa
ko eh at lumalayo naman sila sa akin.
4. Yon mga pobre sa kalsada, eh temporary lang yan wala silang sariling
lugar, hayaan mo dadating ang panahon magkakaroon din yan at makakapunta ng australia hindi pa lang ngayon. Yon iba naman internally diplaced persons yan me war sa labas ng manila eh. Bakit hindi mo sila ampunin para yon magiging anak nila makapunta sa autralia.
5. Yan mga matapobre, meron na rin ako nakikita na ganyan pero
pagtiningnan mo talaga pagkatao nyan mga kung saan saan lang nanggaling
ni hindi nga nila alam kung saan nakalibing mga magulang ng lolo at lola nila
pare pareho silang mga galing sa dagat. If they discriminate against you then discriminate them back. You know what you are.
6. Pambihira ka naman wala naman pumipilit sa iyo pumunta dito sa
pilipinas eh. Eh me solution ka ba sa mga angal mo?

Mahal ko pilipinas, na land reform kami ni Marcos sumunod naman si Aquino
pero ayos lang. Ganoon talaga eh. Now all of us needs to start all over again. I am critical of government but I hope we will have the bigginings of a good one.

SAAN PARTE BA NG PILIPINAS YAN TINUTUKOY MO?
