🚗💨 Did you know?
According to the Asian Development Bank (ADB), road transport is a major source of air pollution — a silent threat linked to chronic illnesses like asthma, heart disease, and lung problems.

🌱 But there’s hope. By combining environmental goals, better urban planning, and public health priorities, we can design cities that are cleaner, healthier, and more livable for everyone.

👵👴 Asia’s Future: One in Four Will Be Seniors by 2050

By 2050, 1 out of every 4 people in Asia and the Pacific will be over 60 years old. This big shift in population will change how we design our cities, run our healthcare systems, create jobs, and provide social support.

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is preparing for this future by:
✅ Investing in inclusive infrastructure – cities that are safe, accessible, and friendly for seniors
✅ Expanding access to essential services – so basic needs are met at every age
✅ Strengthening healthcare systems – to handle the needs of an aging population

Why this matters: Planning ahead means our parents, grandparents—and eventually us—can age with dignity, security, and better quality of life.

💙 No More Surprise Hospital Bills for Filipinos 💙

Finance Secretary Ralph G. Recto highlighted that President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s Zero Balance Billing policy in Department of Health (DOH) hospitals, together with PhilHealth’s biggest-ever expansion of benefit packages, shows the government’s strong push for universal healthcare.

Under this policy, patients in DOH hospitals should not have to pay out-of-pocket for services covered by PhilHealth. This means more families can focus on recovery instead of worrying about medical expenses.

Sec. Recto stressed: “Our goal has always been to make every hard-earned peso of the Filipino taxpayer count—for the people, for their families, and for their health.”

Why this matters: Affordable and accessible healthcare is a basic need, and this move brings us closer to making quality medical services a reality for all Filipinos.

📈 Why You Should Consider Investing in Stocks

Did you know? Keeping your money only in a savings account can make it lose value over time because of inflation—the steady rise of prices for goods and services. One way to grow your money faster is by investing in stocks.

Here’s why stocks can be a smart move:
✅ Beats inflation – Stocks have the potential to grow your money faster than the increase in prices.
✅ Builds long-term wealth – Many successful investors grew their money through years of stock investing.
✅ Earn in two ways – You can profit when the stock price goes up and through dividends (your share of the company’s earnings).
✅ Compound growth – Reinvesting your earnings helps your money grow even faster over time.

⚠ Reminder: Stocks go up and down, so invest only what you can keep for the long term, and spread your investments across different companies to reduce risk.

Why this matters: Learning how to invest wisely can help MSME owners, OFWs, students, and workers secure a stronger financial future.

📈 What is Inflation?

Inflation is the overall increase in the prices of goods and services in an economy over time. When inflation happens, the money you have today will buy less than it did before.

Think of it like this:

Last year, ₱100 could buy you a kilo of rice, a dozen eggs, and a sachet of coffee.

This year, with the same ₱100, you might only get the rice and eggs—because prices have gone up.

Inflation is measured as a percentage—for example, if inflation is 3%, it means that on average, prices are 3% higher than they were a year ago.

💡 Why this matters:

Too high inflation makes it harder for families to afford basics.

Too low or negative inflation (deflation) can slow the economy.

Governments and central banks, like the BSP, aim for a “healthy” inflation rate (in the Philippines, the target is 2–4% a year) to keep the economy growing while keeping prices stable.
