MANILA, Feb 7 (Reuters) - Philippine President Ferdinand
Marcos Jr said on Tuesday it was "unfortunate" that the
inflation rate continued to rise, indicating that measures his
government had implemented to curb consumer prices "have not yet
gone through the system."
Marcos said, however, inflation, which beat expectations in
January to reach a fresh 14-year high, is expected to ease with
a drop in the price of fuel and imported agricultural products.
