Here’s one sad, bad news for all of us: the Philippines’ inflation rate in June 2008 jumped to 11.4% — the highest ever recorded in the last 14 years.
The figure was beyond the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (Central Bank of the Philippines)’s forecast range of 10.4% to 11.2%.
It was the fastest pace in 14 years since May 1994 when inflation was recorded at 11.5%.

SM Advantage Card auto-debits points for Philam insurance
The SM Advantage Card program is playing tricks on us — and it’s not at all amusing.
Last week, we wrote that SM Advantage Card (SMAC) is automatically enrolling members into the Philam Personal Accident Insurance Program by automatically debiting 20 points from one’s account. Offering insurance would have been a real benefit, except that members were not previously made aware of this and the notice on the latest policy was given only three months before it lapses.
