Philippine inflation accelerated to 7.2% in September, up from 6.1% in August. Meanwhile, a women-led food enterprise in Burias, Mambusao, raised the price of its panutsa delicacy from P50 to P70. This price increase was prompted by rising costs for sugar, powdered milk, and fuel, despite receiving training and marketing assistance from Capiz State University.
