    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Pahayag ni Salceda na ang Pilipinas ay may ‘isa sa pinakamababang’ inflation rate sa mundo kulang nang konteksto

    By VERA Files  |  Mar 13, 2023 2:28 PM

    Ipinahayag kamakailan ni Albay Rep. Joey Salceda na ang inflation rate ng Pilipinas ay “isa sa pinakamababa pa rin sa mundo,” at sinabing ito ay malamang na “bunga ng diskarte” ng economic managers ng bansa. Ito ay nangangailangan ng konteksto.

    By VERA Files  |  Oct 04, 2022 11:49 AM

    Sonny Africa, executive director of IBON Foundation, told VERA Files Fact Check in an email that while rising global prices of food and the depreciation of the peso, driven by interest rate hikes in the United States, are indeed immediate inflation factors, the government has “direct control over factors like the excise and value added taxes it puts on goods and services consumed or, like fuel, used to produce other goods and services.”
