mahina dollar dahil sa pananaw magiging play money ang dollar dahil sa utang ng US gov't --> US central bank printing money to fund the gov't

(which is a reason why $$$ flowing to crypto and commodities)

malakas ang PHP dahil sa malaking $$$ reserves ng Pinas

World Bank turns gloomier as Philippines' virus fight returns to square one | Philstar.com

From its old forecast of 5.5% in March, the Washington-based lender now projects the economy to grow 4.7% this year based on the revised version of its “Philippines Economic Update” report released Tuesday. Last year, the economy shrank a record 9.6% year-on-year.

If realized, the bleaker projection would fall below the Duterte administration’s watered-down target of 6-7% for 2021. To make matters worse, the lender said elevated inflation driven by food supply problems has also emerged as a “key challenge” for the economy. A new World Bank poll found two in five Filipino families were worried about food and healthcare access due to lack of income.

“The resurgence of COVID-19 cases and reimposition of more stringent quarantine measures held back the early signs of an economic rebound,” the Bank said in its report.

Too early to ramp up the economy. Filipino voters have short term memory so let's wait for Christmas and New Year events when C19 is "contained" and inflation is "tamed".
