PRESIDENT Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.\u2019s administration remains focused on addressing the economic implications of the continued depreciation of the Philippine peso against the US dollar, particularly its impact on Filipino consumers and vulnerable sectors.<\/strong><\/p>\n

During a Palace press briefing on Thursday, Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Undersecretary and Palace Press Officer Claire Castro cited several challenges, including the ongoing crisis in the Middle East, the effects of El Ni\u00f1o and domestic political developments.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSa ngayon, patuloy ang krisis sa Middle East. Ito\u2019y ipagdarasal natin na sana ay matapos na. Nakakaapekto po talaga ito sa ekonomiya ng bansa,\u201d Castro said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Palace Press Officer noted concerns over the effects of El Ni\u00f1o, particularly on farmers and fisherfolk in areas already experiencing prolonged dry conditions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Castro assured the public that President Marcos and his administration are closely monitoring developments and working on appropriate measures to alleviate the economic burden on Filipinos.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cPero ang Pangulo at ang administrasyon ay nakatutok po rito para mas magawan ng paraan at the same time para mapag-aralan pa ang mga epekto para sa ating mga kababayan at kung ano pa ang pwedeng gawin ng ating administrasyon para iyong nadaranas ng ating mga kababayan ay ma-lessen o ma-mitigate ang hirap ng ating mga kababayan,\u201d she said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Castro added that the administration\u2019s immediate priority is to assess the effects of the currency\u2019s depreciation and identify appropriate responses to help ease the financial difficulties facing Filipino households. <\/strong><\/p>\n
