My 2 Cents - The weak peso is NOT just BBM’s fault. But we cannot blame everything on global events either. A stronger US dollar, rising oil prices, Middle East tensions, and global market uncertainty are putting pressure on emerging market currencies, including the Philippine peso. These are forces no Philippine administration can fully control. However, the government is not off the hook, IMO. Fiscal discipline, public spending, investor confidence, export competitiveness, and economic policies all influence how resilient our economy is when global shocks hit. Global events may trigger the pressure, but domestic policies determine how prepared we are to absorb it. Yes, OFWs may receive more pesos for every dollar sent home. But Filipino consumers and businesses also pay more for imported fuel, goods, and raw materials. A weak peso creates both winners and losers. Blaming BBM for every centavo of depreciation is an incomplete analysis. Blaming everything on the US dollar and global events is equally incomplete. The real question is: Is the administration doing enough to protect Filipino purchasing power and strengthen our economic fundamentals?
