In this brief commentary, the speaker highlights that inflation in the Philippines has been markedly higher than in the United States over the past few years. The elevated price growth has eroded real wages and purchasing power for Filipinos, a situation the speaker describes as concerning. The speaker also mentions an upcoming podcast that will explore the causes and consequences of this inflationary pressure in more depth, urging listeners to be aware of the economic challenges facing the Philippines.

Inflation has been rampant in the Philippines the last couple years. Significantly more, I think, than in the US, where US's inflation was quite a bit inflation in the Philippines, really high. And I'll have an upcoming podcast talking about that because unfortunately wages have gone down, like purchasing power in the Philippines has gone down quite a bit with inflation. And it's just something you should be aware of.
