The peso continues to strengthen against the US dollar. The families of overseas Filipinos are feeling the decrease in their monthly pension. I am comfortable with the P41 to a dollar rate. There would always be industries, businenesses and people that are affected when the dollar goes either up or down.
It would probably still go down a little as Christmas gets closer because a lot of foreign based Filipinos would send money to their families.

Woman found dead in her car’s trunk. The 20 year-old son and husband are prime suspects. According to the police investigators, witnesses saw the son parked the vehicle at 3 in the morning. and the wire used to bind the woman’s hands came from the husband’s tool box.
The police also commented that when they went to the house of the victim, the family didn’t want to let them in and instead the family appointed a lawyer to face the police. Usually, the family of the victim is the one initiating contact with the police to help them find the killers but in this case, according to the report, they are avoiding speaking to the investigators.

US Marine killed by four male residents of Bel-Air Subdivision in Makati City. The actual video from Bel-Air’s security camera showed the 4 ganging-up on the US marine and one of them stabbing him at the gate near Rockwell. There’s a guy and another security guard who was just standing there watching.
The tv and newspaper reports including the CCTV footage showed that:
The US Marine came from Rockwell side and arrived at the gate visibly drunk. He asked the guard how he could enter the village since the gate is already closed. Thne a Volvo came and the guard stopped them. The US Marine joined in by asking for the guys’ identification. They sped-off and the US Marine chased the vehicle and tapped the back part which irked the guys. They all got off and mugged him. Not content, one of them stabbed him three times. Killing him. I feel sorry for the American guy and his family. I apologize for what this senseless people did. According to the police, the act of one is the act of all 4.
