00:00The economy is open after the pandemic, but Filipinos still don't want to open their pockets.
00:09EJ Gomez has the news.
00:14Hanna admitted that she has a spending habit.
00:17Travel here, travel there.
00:19It was then, now it's different.
00:23When it comes to shopping, it's too expensive.
00:27When you go grocery shopping, you'll run out of money.
00:31As a single mom, I have to send my child to school.
00:34I have bills and rent.
00:37In fact, her income from being an online teacher
00:40needs to be added to other rackets to cover the expenses.
00:45So I add to the live selling, to the sales.
00:48Sometimes I earn an amount of P5,000 or P3,000.
00:53But she still needs to save money, so she cuts back on her previous expenses.
00:59Before, I used to have a lot of eyelash.
01:02You'd have coffee, you'd have milk tea.
01:04If you want, you'd crave for something.
01:06Now, there's nothing.
01:07It's simple. It's just 3-in-1 at home.
01:09Hanna is just one of many Filipinos who adjusts their expenses.
01:15And according to the report of Moody's Analytics,
01:18inflation has an effect on the recovery from the pandemic in Asia Pacific.
01:24The economy is now open, right?
01:27From malls and transportation, there are no restrictions.
01:31But according to Moody's, there is still no big shift
01:35or going back to the old way of spending of Filipinos.
01:40In fact, one of the countries in Asia,
01:44Filipinos are still not going back to the pre-pandemic level of spending on services.
01:50According to an economist,
01:52it's possible that one of the reasons Filipinos are spending less
01:56is the work-from-home set-up of many, even without the pandemic.
02:00The number of people going out has decreased in a given day.
02:04Those massaging, paying for massages,
02:07different modes of transport,
02:10bus, jeep, train, tricycle, etc.
02:14Motor, TBNS, taxi.
02:17So that has decreased.
02:20And of course, when they're outside,
02:24they'll eat outside, they'll shop.
02:27And other expenses have decreased as well.
02:33But there is hope for tourism
02:35because foreign tourists are expected to return to the pre-pandemic level.
02:41We haven't really gone back to the pre-pandemic.
02:44But it's getting closer, that's what's important.
