    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Pahayag ng Press Secretary na ang inflation ay ‘hindi dahil sa anumang mga lokal na kadahilanan’ NAKALILIGAW

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

    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.”
