It's definitely a good thing for people who are earning USD instead of our local currency, PHP.
But it'll also cause an increase in prices of goods, since our country buys oil in USD. If oil becomes expensive, all others follow.
The future is quite uncertain, I have to work a lot more these days.

So sad that Peso is low now. Good thing for the people sending Dollar here in the Philippines but not when buying Dollars. Heard in the news that the price of sugar when up. Of course, everything follows :(.

Our major need is food so I buy from local sellers of cooked food who plants in their garden so it is very cheap. Vegetable dish is 10pesos.

@lady1993 Recently I bought there again and they have increased it to 20pesos. I can understand them though.

Everything has gone up to such a high price, sometime 50% or more. I guess it's happening everywhere.
