Manila Bulletin

The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) is taking a stand against the dissemination of misleading information by social media "influencers."  National Statistician Claire Dennis Mapa has voiced his concerns regarding the misleading content surrounding inflation being circulated by self-proclaimed "influencers" on TikTok.   As the country grapples with rising consumer prices, Mapa emphasizes the importance of the public gaining a comprehensive understanding of the inflation report and its implications.
