00:00 The Philippine Statistics Authority has estimated that the lowest price of goods and services
00:06 in more than a year.
00:08 This is also the sixth lowest inflation rate in the country,
00:12 at 4.7 percent.
00:14 May Ulan, Sina Yumi, Tiburso.
00:16 In the next six months,
00:22 the country's inflation rate has slowed again,
00:24 down to the level of economic managers in the continuous slowdown of inflation this year.
00:30 In the report of the Philippine Statistics Authority,
00:32 inflation slowed by 4.7 percent last July,
00:36 from 5.4 percent last June.
00:39 This is the slowest inflation rate not only this year,
00:44 but since March 2022.
00:46 The slowdown of inflation this July
00:49 was helped by the increase in electricity prices,
00:53 coal, LPG and other oil.
00:56 Another reason was the almost non-stop increase in the price of chicken,
01:00 fish, seafood and sugar.
01:02 The Philippine Statistics Authority also explained
01:04 that inflation also slowed in the massaging of jeeps,
01:08 airplanes and buses.
01:09 In addition, inflation also increased in rice,
01:12 vegetables such as onions,
01:14 cabbage and tomatoes,
01:15 milk and eggs.
01:17 According to the Philippine Statistics Authority,
01:18 this may be related to the recent typhoons.
01:21 We had an impact on vegetables, for example.
01:26 We saw that our vegetables increased.
01:33 Normally, that's the first thing that increases.
01:35 But we will see because you will notice
01:38 that the movement of 13 commodity groups is a bit dynamic.
01:43 For this month, for example, the July report,
01:47 we saw the decrease in transport.
01:49 But in the past week, there was an increase.
01:52 So we will see in the coming weeks.
01:55 According to the Philippine Statistics Authority,
01:57 in February,
01:58 inflation in rice increased from 2.2 percent.
02:02 The increase followed
02:04 until 4.2 percent this July.
02:07 In the rice of Marilyn in Quezon City,
02:10 it increased from P42.00
02:12 to P52.00 per kilo
02:16 last July,
02:17 which is the lowest price of rice.
02:19 How big is the difference in price of rice?
02:22 It's big.
02:23 It's already at P100.00.
02:26 The difference is big.
02:27 That's why we changed the price.
02:29 Before, half a sack or one sack,
02:31 what they would do is to weigh it first.
02:33 It's not whole anymore.
02:35 According to Eusek Mapa,
02:36 the rice may be affected by the inflation
02:39 in the coming months.
02:40 You're right, it has increased.
02:43 The weight of this rice,
02:44 we know that the weight of this in the basket is 9 percent.
02:49 This is what we're looking at.
02:50 This is one of the threats
02:52 to increase inflation.
02:53 For now, it's not that high,
02:56 but I agree with your observation
02:59 that this could be the source
03:01 of our future inflation.
03:04 When the NEDA is in charge,
03:05 they will strictly monitor
03:06 the supply and demand situation,
03:08 the bad weather,
03:10 the increase of crude oil in the market,
03:13 and the trade restrictions on food
03:16 to reach the inflation target
03:18 of 2 to 4 percent at the end of the year.
03:21 (laughter)
03:24 Nayomi Tiburso for the nation.
