Exports plunged 35.2% and other forecasts

Exports of the Philippines fell harder in April by 35.2 percent, with shipments amounting to $2.9 billion compared with $4.33 billion in the same month last year. This was the seventh straight month of decline and showed a worse performance than the previous month’s 30.9-percent contraction.

However, recovery in some sectors, for example, electronics improved by 3.9 percent. This trend can continue – more improvements are expected by the 3rd and 4th quarter this year as Christmas season are expected to fuel the economy higher, and orders/demands for exports would perk up.

The rally against con-ass yesterday ended peacefully. Around 15,000 people attended the protest.

I am wishing GMA would see the light that her continued stay in power is already dragging the country to the dictatorship years. I am afraid the people would not be as forgiving as before. She better exit sooner than later.

She already has a taste of power for nearly 9 years…that’s more than enough!
