AVOID The Philippines Right Now? Prices Are Out of Control!

Should you avoid the Philippines right now? Are prices out of control? Is gasoline hard to find, and store shelves becoming empty? It's no surprise that the Philippines is suffering from the conflict in the middle east, and prices are soaring on key staple items, including food inflation and a fuel price hike - but what does that mean to you? Is it still a good time to visit and enjoy Filipino culture, or would it be better to wait to begin your expat journey until the Philippines cost of living becomes more reasonable? Today I'm going to interview local Filipinos in various sectors of the economy, and see how the country's inflation is affecting their lives. Should you avoid taking a Philippines vacation right now, or will you even notice a difference? #philippines #expat #inflation If you want to see some of my exclusive videos not shown on YouTube, and chat with me in realtime several times a week, consider joining my Patreon page: 👉  / thefilipinapea   👉My videos and the effort I put into them are 100% free for everyone to enjoy, and all I ask is that you leave a thumbs-up on any videos that you like and subscribe to my channel - I have never, and will never, ask you for anything else.
