OFW remittances up 4.4% to 6-month high in June | Philstar.com

MANILA, Philippines — The amount of money sent home by overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) to their families in the Philippines posted a faster growth of 4.4 percent in June to hit the highest level in six months, according to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).

Data released by the central bank showed personal remittances – the sum of net compensation of employees, personal transfers, and capital transfers between households – grew by 4.4 percent to $3.06 billion in June from $2.94 billion in the same month last year.

This was the highest in six months or since the $3.3 billion recorded last December.

[uls]

bakit pag humihina ang piso may nagpopost

pero pag lumalakas wala

hehe

[xwangbu]

Lumaki padala. Mga ipon nagyon nilalabas.
Me backlog nga sa remittance center (iRemit SG) 4 -7 working days crediting sa Pinas.
Malalaki daw padala.

yup

but that would depend on individual OFWs kung babawasan nila ang padala

^^^

that's good

mas madami $$$ pasok sa pinas

dami kasi $$$ lumalabas dahil tumaas presyo mga imports

[Stigg ma]

yari, pahirap na ng pahirap ang pinas, dami may utang at naniningil na si doc willie ong

[Stigg ma]

paano uunlad ang pinas kung squatters ang naka paligid sa pier at airport???

[Stigg ma]

i have serious trust issues sa pinas dahil mahirap ang buhay, mula gobyerno hangang kahit pa kausap mo ang pinaka malaki gumagawa ng kotse sa mundo (toyota) hangang sa honey ay di ko pagkaka tiwalaan...

[uls]

how about olive oil

ya think the olive oil sold in supermarkets are really extra virgin olive oil?

when things aren't easy to make in large quantities and you got huge demand, asahan mo may gagawing short cut yan para masuplayan ung demand

di lang sa pinas yan

[kagalingan]

ayan ayan ito mga gusto ko topic. Yan si pnri din nagbuking sa acetic acid mga suka bago mag pandemic.

sa extra virgin olive you need to do a taste test dapat may mild peppery sting sa lalamunan. Pag honey better buy local BUT sa reputable maker. Yung mga lasang minty stay-ahway mga peke yan.

Real sunflower honey nagcrystallize at malinamnam talaga lasa.

Ang hindi ko pa natry yung manuka honey. mataas ang standard pag mangaling new zealand.

so pag honey aalamin nyo talaga source at dapat kaya magyabang nagtitinda sa taste test. Meron isa pa klase honey na maasim legit din yun dahil stingless bee nangaling.

Gusto ko tuloy malaman sino namumuno sa pnri kasi pinapahiya fda at doh.

[_Qwerty_]

nakaka duda talaga yang mga local honey..

last 6 months.. we have tried..


this one is local.. but tastes legit..



these ones.. available sa Marketplace.. pero I haven't tried yet..

seriously are there enough bee colonies in the world to make enough real honey to meet global demand?

so naturally there will be those who will use sugar syrup and label it "honey"

[makelovenotwar]

Ang alam ko sa legit honey ay dapat hindi nilalanggam tsaka hindi nagiging frozen.
So samin basta hindi nangyari yung dalawang yan, okay na samin.

Misconception yan. Nilalanggam ang honey, nafrofrozen din kapag nilagay sa freezer yan.

If gusto mo talaga malaman if pure at walang halo, isawsaw mo sa palito at try mo sindihan ang palito. Kapag sumindi, walang tubig at pure yan. Kapag hindi sumindi, may halong tubig yan at sugar. Tsaka yung Thumb test.

Yan ginagamit sa Iwahig Penal farm kapag may bentahan ng pure honey.

The Thumb Test: This is a simple natural honey test to check the purity of honey. Put a small drop of honey on your thumbnail. Check if it spills or spreads. If it spreads, then the honey is impure since pure honey will stay intact on your thumb. Spreading is often an indicator that the honey contains some amount of moisture, which could be an aftereffect of pasteurization.
The Water Test: This is a test using water to spot impure honey. Simply fill a glass of water and add a teaspoon of honey into the glass. Adulterated or impure honey will easily dissolve in water and you will see it around the glass. On the other hand, original honey will settle right at the bottom of the glass.
The Flame Test: Pure honey is flammable and to check if the honey is 100 % pure, try this test! Start by taking a matchstick and dip the tip of the matchstick with honey. Strike the matchstick on the matchbox to see if it lights. If the honey is pure then the matchstick will easily light up and the honey will keep burning. But if the honey is impure it will not light up as it contains moisture.

today's mass-production matches are of so poor quality,
a number of them fail to light up when struck.

I see. Idadagdag ko ang mga yan sa mga tests namin. Thanks!

i see many bottles of honey in the grocery.
hindi naman pinapakyaw o pinag-aagawan...

btw,
has anyone here tried using a laboratory refractometer, to test for water content of their honey?
it might remove the "mis-interpretation and/or the mis-doing" of the thumb test, the water test, and the flame test.
it's not awfully expensive in shopee...

trust issues talaga ako, wag mag titiwala sa mga naka helmet na di naman dapat naka helmet

Nalala ko nung bata ako, meron binibilhan ng honey yung tatay ko. Nakalagay sa lapad at minsan dala nya yung isang timba na puno ng honeycomb. Minsan may nakikita rin ako ganito naglalako sa may Quiapo eh.
