INFLATION is expected to pick up in the coming months as the holiday season nears, an investment house said on Tuesday. Consumer price growth is expected to rise to the 1.4 to 1.5 percent range in the next two months, Investment & Capital Corp. of the Philippines (ICCP) said, “consistent with seasonal patterns ahead of the holiday spending period.” ICCP President and COO Jesus Mariano Ocampo said “inflationary pressures during the ‘ber’ months are par for the course,” referring to September, October, November and December. “ICCP sees the balance of risks to inflation as manageable, with structural investments playing a pivotal role in sustaining the Philippines’ growth trajectory over the medium term,” he added.   https://www.manilatimes.net/2025/08/13/business/top-business/philippine-inflation-expected-rise-ahead-of-holiday-season/2166638 (ICE SINGAPORE)
