In the link above, a teaser on a story I wrote for Philippine Tatler can be found.
Working on the article about the economy seemed ironic for me, especially since I was doing it for a magazine that caters to high society–the rich, the famous and the society darlings. These are people who, to me, would have money as the least of their worries.
What I realize though is that monied people have much, much more to lose in a bear economy. The stakes are higher–their wealth, their lifestyles and their names.
Regular people like us deal with the economic crunch in other ways. In fact, we are more resilient in a crisis because we are used to saving and scrimping.
But not to worry, things are not so bad for the Philippines. We will recover and we can do much better.
