The Philippines will not be poor forever, Filipinos just need to work hard and be patient.

read more -> Duterte cannot build his way out of Philippines' economic troubles -In June 2016, Duterte took over the presidency from Benigno Aquino, who had spent the previous six years repairing the national balance sheet. Aquino's success going after tax cheats, bringing accountability to government institutions and increasing transparency won Manila foreign investment and its first-ever investment-grade ratings.
Duterte was elected to turbocharge the reform process.
His 22 years running Davao City in the south accorded him folk-hero status. Mostly, though, he rested on Aquino's laurels. Instead of building up the economy, he launched a bloody war against the drug trade. Thanks to the average 6% growth in gross domestic product Aquino bequeathed him, Duterte figured the economy was already sorted.
But now inertia is no longer an option as consumption plunges, factory output slides and many of the pillars of growth Manila took for granted go wobbly, chief among them remittances. The cash that about 2 million Filipinos send home from Hong Kong, Dubai and cruise ships around the globe accounts for at least 10% of GDP. That cash is now in short supply as those jobs disappear. The same goes for tourism, which accounts for 25% of GDP.

I noticed that prices of a number of goods in the supermarket increase by at least 8%.
If my delivery truck traveled 200km and at 8km per liter of diesel fuel, I would have consumed 25 liters of fuel.
This means that increase in transport cost is P75 only.
If the truck carried 5000 can goods, original price was P25 now P27, so increase in price of P2 x 5000 = P10,000
That was basically the greed per truckload whether manufacturer, distributor or supermarket.
Deym! So much greed here...

daming ganyan bro... lagi kong sinasabi sa Baguio noon bakit halos nasa 7-8 pesos ang price diff. ng gas at diesel kumpara sa La Union. iisa lang naman ang source na kinukuhanan nila, sa poro point depot.
usually ang gamit ay 20,000 liters per tanker * 120 km (round trip). nahihirapan sila sa 40k liters /tanker.
kung 2 pesos per liter ang freight charge < so total freight charge is 40,000 pesos per tanker. may tubo na sila dyan kung sarili nila ang tanker>. saan nila kinuha ang additional 5-6 pesos... yes, too much greed indeed.
