Inflation seen rising to 3.9% in March — BPI

This has been accompanied by sharper increases in rice (4.7% MoM) and electricity tariffs (4.9% MoM), pushing monthly inflation to an estimated +1.2%,
The surge in fuel prices is also beginning to transmit into higher transport costs, putting upward pressure on fare adjustments despite the government’s call to defer hikes. Fare increases tend to be sticky and non-linear, feeding into household inflation expectations, distribution costs, and eventually wage demands,

Sa atin lang, sa ngayon, sa panahon ngayon ay iwasan po natin sana ang pamumulitika. Kung wala po silang masasabing maganda at kung hindi paninira lamang, tumigil muna sila—or tumigil na sila permanently—at makipagtulungan na lamang po sa administrasyon para ikaaangat ng ating bansa at ikaaangat din po ng bawat Pilipino,

Woods’ latest arrest adds to setbacks in comeback bid

Tiger Woods’ latest arrest on a driving under the influence charge is raising fresh questions about the trajectory of his comeback, adding to a series of injuries and personal setbacks that have clouded the final chapter of his career

Mr. Woods did a breathalyzer test with triple zeros, but when it came time for us to ask for a urinalysis test, he refused, so he’s been charged with DUI, property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test,
When I show you the photos, they kind of speak for themselves...you can see that (Woods) slid for a decent space before he came to a stop,
Had somebody been moving in the opposite direction, we would not be having a conversation saying there was no injuries,

March inflation seen at 3.1% to 3.9% — BSP

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) expects inflation to rise within a range of 3.1 percent to 3.9 percent as the country braces for the first round of macroeconomic impacts from the Middle East conflict

Emilio S. Neri Jr.lead Economist and Senior Vice President
Food and utilities are reinforcing these cost-push pressures. Rice prices were already on an upward trajectory prior to the latest shock amid elevated import costs, logistics constraints, and tighter domestic supply. The recent surge in oil prices has only exacerbated this trend, accelerating MoM gains and reinforcing upside risks to food inflation,
The anticipated lower prices of vegetables, fish, and meat may help temper inflation, but upside pressures continue to warrant close monitoring,
Headline inflation likely accelerated to 3.9% [year-on-year] in March (from 2.4% in February), with [month on month] inflation estimated at 1.2%, reflecting a notable jump in price pressures driven by a sustained rise in rice prices along with a sharper-than-expected pass-through from oil,
We also project growth to remain weak. In that regard, to raise rates at this time would be painful,
