Malacañang said the government is not alarmed by the recent uptick in inflation as it remains well within the administration's projection this year.
Palace Press Officer and Communications Undersecretary Claire Castro said this was according to the Department of Economy, Planning and Development (DEPDev) Secretary Arsenio Balisacan and Special Assistant to the President for Investment and Economic Affairs Secretary Frederick Go.
00:00Pali, para sa reaction lang po regarding po dun sa recent inflation figures na nag-slowdown draw po compared sa last year?
00:07Yes, opo. Natawagan po natin sa Secretary Balisakan.
00:11At ang naging cause daw po nito ay ang pag-increase ng presyo ng gulay dahil sa tuloy-tuloy at sunod-sunod na bagyo po na siyang nag-land dito sa ating bansa at naka-apekto po ito.
00:25Pero according to Secretary Balisakan, ito pong 1.7% ay hindi po ito nakakapagpagabag sa gobyerno dahil ang pinaka-projected bond ay 2 to 4% this year at malayo pa po ito.
00:49At nakikita po nila na slow po ang pagtaas po ng inflation rate.
