[Title] => Lucio Tan on how to fight inflation: Spend your money
[Summary] => What can P270 million buy nowadays? A property at the posh Ayala Alabang, a top-of-the-line Volvo sedan, a condo unit at Fort-Bonifacio, a rest house sitting on a lush two-hectare lot in Batangas, and a few more millions to spare for life’s other amenities.
That’s the value of the P1 million in 1945 when the peso-dollar exchange rate was yet unheard of, and the country was still reeling from the devastation wrought by World War II.
