[In This Economy] The 2027 budget: Hocus-pocus prevails once more (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is AI-generated. Read the article for full context. Report any errors. The proposed P7.2-trillion national budget for 2027 reached the House of Representatives plenary on Tuesday, September 15. Lawmakers want to pass it on third reading by October 9. P7.2 trillion is an incomprehensible amount. Divide it among 113.9 million Filipinos and it comes to roughly P63,200 per person for the year. That daily amount must pay for public schools, hospitals, soldiers, subsidies, government workers, roa
[In this Economy] PISA 2025: Much better scores, but the learning crisis remains (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is AI-generated. Read the article for full context. Report any errors. After a long wait, on September 8, we now have the results of the 2025 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) which measures the skills of 15-year-old students. There’s good news all around. Philippine scores have improved in all three subjects tested: our reading score rose from 347 in 2022 to 367, math from 355 to 371, and science from 356 to 373. All three increases were statistically significant, meani
[In This Economy] Should Filipinos’ ‘consumption culture’ be blamed for the weak peso? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is AI-generated. Read the article for full context. Report any errors. On September 2, the peso-dollar exchange rate closed at P62.50 per dollar, yet another all-time low.

On August 27, at the Senate briefing of the Development Budget Coordination Committee (DBCC), the economic managers were asked if there’s any way we can rein
[In This Economy] Less than 10% of Filipinos are now poor? Not so fast (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is AI-generated. Read the article for full context. Report any errors. Rather unceremoniously, on August 21, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) announced in a press release that only 9.7% of Filipinos were poor in 2025, the lowest rate on record. That is equivalent to 11.08 million poor Filipinos, down from 17.54 million or 15.5% in 2023. In just two years, nearly 6.5 million people were supposedly lifted out of poverty. The PSA added that average income per person grew by 22% from 2
[In This Economy] Apocalyptic rains and their economic costs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is AI-generated. Read the article for full context. Report any errors. The rains of the past two weeks have proven apocalyptic, and they are also becoming an increasingly dire economic problem. On Monday, August 17, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) placed Metro Manila under a red rainfall warning, meaning serious flooding was expected in flood-prone areas. By noon, Malacañang suspended government work and classes at all levels in Metr
