Pero bakit yung sodas, they seem to be doing fine? Economies of scale?

Diba iba na ginagamit ng mga sodas company na sugar, dahil meron ako mabasa yun Coke yata nabenta na nila yun stocks nilang sugar sa ibang region.

Mas gusto ko pepsi kesa sa coke. I guess, may extra minerals sya dahil sa balon galing. Hehe.

Dollar outflow seen accelerating | Inquirer Business

The central bank now expects dollar outflows due to the Philippines’ trade imbalance to rise by over three times its original forecast as the value of the country’s imports continues to outpace what it earns from exports.

In a press briefing over the weekend, officials of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas said the country’s current account would likely end the year at a deficit of $3.1 billion, equivalent to 0.9 percent of gross domestic product.

This represents a 342-percent increase over the original deficit projection of $700 million that its economists announced in late 2017.

this build build build is bad timing

just when US interest rates are rising, $$$ flowing out of EM, we have this strong demand for $$$ for lots of imports

not to mention the demand for $$$ going forward as govt and corporates need to pay $$$ obligations
