Lumulutang na ngayon ang salitang stagflation sa bokabularyo ng international market analysts — ibig sabihin stagnation o mahinang paglago + mataas na inflation. Ito’y sa harap ng disruption na sanhi ng pagsasara ng Strait of Hormuz, ang lagusan ng 25% ng krudo ng buong mundo.

Fuel, Oil Crisis, Iran, US, Israel, Philippines

Habang papasok sa krisis na ito nasa 45% ang disapproval at 44% distrust rating ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

Nagbuo ng komite si BBM kung saan siya ang chairman: ang Unified Package for Livelihoods, Industry, Food, and Transport o UPLIFT. “Safeguarding national interest by mitigating the impact of the conflict in the Middle East” ang mandato nito.

At tila interventionist ang diskarte. Pero ano ang overall strategy?

  • Pagpigil sa hoarding at price manipulation
  • Pagtatalaga ng thermostat levels sa public buildings
  • Carpool advisories
  • Suspending the fare hike
  • Building reserves. May sapat daw na supply ang bansa ng oil hanggang June 30 matapos mag-angkat ang Petron ng krudo mula sa Russia. Non-traditional supplier ito dahil limang taon nang hindi nag-aangkat ang Pilipinas sa Russia na tila may unspoken embargo laban sa aggressor ng Ukraine war.
  • Pantawid pasada program. Subsidy ito para sa transportation sector.
  • Four-day work week. Bahagi ng pagtitipid ng konsumo ng kuryente.
  • Repatriation ng OFWs sa high-risk areas ng Middle East.

Sabi pa ng pamahalaan tungkol sa UPLIFT: trabaho raw nitong pangalagaan ang “vulnerable sectors.” Pero wala tayong granular na planong naririnig na pro-people (na maaaring unpopular sa business at industries sector.) Halimbawa:

Kailan ipatutupad ang fare hike na magbibigay ng konting breather sa mga tsuper?

Sa harap ng peso depreciation, may wage hike bang pinag-aaralan na magre-restore ng purchasing power ng ordinaryong manggagawa to pre-crisis levels?

Sabi ng ekonomistang si JC Punongbayan, regressive daw ang planong excise tax cuts dahil ang talagang makikinabang ay mayayaman na maraming kotse. Malaking revenue ang mawawala sa gobyerno na mapupunta sana sa serbisyo, at mahirap daw itong bawiin pag laon.

Sana’y gawing front and center ang fuel subsidies sa transport workers na talagang nakatirik na ang mga mata ngayon sa tindi ng hagupit ng fare freeze + inflation. May plano rin para sa ayuda sa farmers and fisherfolk in the form of cash subsidies, pero sana hindi press release lang.

At sana ayuda itong hindi nakadepende sa politiko. Malinaw naman na ipinagbabawal ng GAA ang partisipasyon ng mga pulitiko habang namimigay ng government aid, pero tila this is observed more in the violation.

May mga komento nang binibitiwan ang mga CabSec na naganap ang giyera “na wala tayong kinalaman.” Tama. Pero sa harap ng krisis na nilikha ng external forces, sana’y maging honest at makatotohanan ang gobyerno sa lagay ng enerhiya at pananalapi. 

“Manageable” ba talaga ang sitwasyon? Sana’y huwag nang i-downplay ang tindi ng problema, upang maintindihan din ng taumbayan ang papel nila sa pagtitipid at paghihigpit sinturon.

Sa panahong maiksi ang kumot, lahat tayo’y walang magagawa kundi mamaluktot. Pero sana all. Sana’y hindi maramdaman ng mahihirap na mas mahaba ang kumot ng mayayaman. Sana’y umiwas lahat sa displays of wealth — lalo na ‘yung mga mambabatas na under scrutiny ang pinanggalingan ng yaman.

But speaking of economic survival, mapunta naman tayo sa political survival. Dapat ding tingnan ni Pangulong Marcos na pagkakataon itong makabawi sa taumbayang naghalal sa kanya. Kung ang impression dati ay mabagal at puro PR, sana’y maging oportunidad itong ipakita na siya’y hard-working president, as opposed to his Vice President who refuses to face the music in her impeachment hearings.

Pero sana hindi lang pakitang-tao kundi bukal sa loob na hard work. Maging malinaw sana na prayoridad ng gobyerno sa panahon ng krisis ang kapos-palad at mahihirap. – Rappler.com

New Trump appointee Miran calls for half-point cut in only dissent as rest of Fed bands together

New Trump appointee Miran calls for half-point cut in only dissent as rest of Fed bands together

The post New Trump appointee Miran calls for half-point cut in only dissent as rest of Fed bands together appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Stephen Miran, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers and US Federal Reserve governor nominee for US President Donald Trump, arrives for a Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee confirmation hearing in Washington, DC, US, on Thursday, Sept. 4, 2025. The Senate Banking Committee’s examination of Stephen Miran’s appointment will provide the first extended look at how prominent Republican senators balance their long-standing support of an independent central bank against loyalty to their party leader. Photographer: Daniel Heuer/Bloomberg via Getty Images Daniel Heuer | Bloomberg | Getty Images Newly-confirmed Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran dissented from the central bank’s decision to lower the federal funds rate by a quarter percentage point on Wednesday, choosing instead to call for a half-point cut. Miran, who was confirmed by the Senate to the Fed Board of Governors on Monday, was the sole dissenter in the Federal Open Market Committee’s statement. Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, who had dissented at the Fed’s prior meeting in favor of a quarter-point move, were aligned with Fed Chair Jerome Powell and the others besides Miran this time. Miran was selected by Trump back in August to fill the seat that was vacated by former Governor Adriana Kugler after she suddenly announced her resignation without stating a reason for doing so. He has said that he will take an unpaid leave of absence as chair of the White House’s Council of Economic Advisors rather than fully resign from the position. Miran’s place on the board, which will last until Jan. 31, 2026 when Kugler’s term was due to end, has been viewed by critics as a threat from Trump to the Fed’s independence, as the president has nominated three of the seven members. Trump also said in August that he had fired Federal Reserve Board Governor…
