Inflation 101: Ano Ang Magagawa Mo?

Ano nga ba talaga ang inflation rate?

Lahat na ata ng tao alam ang inflation rate dahil kahit saan makikita mo ang issue ng inflation rate dito sa Pilipinas. TV, Newspaper, Social Media (especially Facebook), Office, Schools and etc. Isa to sa mga major issues sa Pilipinas. Bakit nga ba ito naging issue? 6.7% ang current inflation rate ng Philippines (September 2018). Compare to 2.9% of 2017 it is really high. Ngunit ito na ba ang pinakamataas na inflation rate?

If we will compare the 6.4% inflation rate to 60+% inflation rate in late 1980s is it still bad? Diba, hindi na masama? Kung ganyan pa lang ang ating inflation rate as of today, ano pa ang magiging reaction mo kung ikaw yung nasa kalagayan ng mga tao noong 1980s?

Why our inflation rate is high?

Ang inflation rate ay pinaghalong international and domestic factors. Isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit mataas ang ating inflation rate ay dahil na sa “Oil”. Dahil wala tayong sariling production ng oil, lahat ng oil ay import galing sa ibang bansa at dahil din dito Philippines are forced to import oil. Isa pang factor nito ang “Weak Peso”. At dahil sa lahat ng mga import goods ang pinang babayad natin ay foreign currencies mas mataas ang nagiging cost dahil mahina ang peso. Isa sa mga domestic factor ay ang “Bigas”. But not only rice, by the way. Vegetables, Fish, Sugary Foods, and Corns. There are so many effect of the rapidly rising inflation rate so why don’t we start our own investments. Let us learn to have another source of income so our hard-earned money will not be put into waste because of this issue.

What are the effects of inflation rate to different class Filipinos?

It all affects us especially those who are minimum wage earner. Kung may 100 pesos ka ano na lang ang halaga nito? 93.6 pesos to be exact. What if kung ang sweldo mo ay 20,000 per month, ang halaga na lang nito ay 18,720. Sobrang laking bagay nung nawalang pera sayo ng wala naman pinupuntahan. Pare-parehas lang naman ng effect sa mga Filipino pero iba ang nagiging solution ng mga tao. Bakit ba sa bank nag iinvest ang karamihan sa mga Filipino kahit na ang liit liit na ng interest rate? Takot kasi tayo na magtake ng risk, pero hahayaan mo na lang bang talunin ka ng takot mo? Hindi ka magfoforward kung matatakot ka lagi.

Take the risk!

If hindi ka aalis sa comfort zone mo di ka din magfo-forward? For example ang comfort zone mo ay sa loob ng bahay nyo, bakit ka lumalabas? Hindi ka naman kasi mabubuhay kung di ka magwowork.

So instead of blaming the government why don’t you try to do some actions? TRY TO INVEST? TAKE THAT RISK!

If you will not try you will not know. Walang nag umpisa sa stock market ng hindi nalugi or nagkaron ng loss. If you fail wag matakot sumubok ulit but this time different process na or different strategies. Ang mali kasi satin we keep on expecting different outcomes but still doing the same strategies. We even emphasize the issue about the chili pepper or ‘sili’ na nag-viral recently imbes na maghanap tayo ng paraan paano mao-overcome ang ganitong scenario sa bansa.

Hanggang saan ang kailangan kong maging income para hindi ko na mapansin ang inflation rate? Yan dapat ang way of thinking natin. Dahil sa pag-blame mo sa government nauubos na ang oras mo. Why don’t you use your time in learning the stocks market.

“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” ~ Albert Einstein

In failures you will learn so much.

Don’t look at the inflation rate as a burden but instead, use it as you inspiration.
