How did Tom and Jerry made my childhood extra special?

 '' I could never imagine how a cat and a mouse made my childhood extraordinary, but it really did!'' https://ultimatepopculture.fandom.com/wiki/Tom_and_Jerry When I was a kid, Tom and Jerry were part of my daily story. I can't call it a day without a glimpse of that cartoon series! It's like, without them, it's a bad day, and when I see them, it's beyond being happy! Simply, they're always part of my day! Since my childhood days, life hasn't been that gentle. Although I'm too young to be that perplexed by life, I really was a problematic child. I rarely go outside or go somewhere away from home with friends because I'm too afraid to get scolded by my parents. So I spent my time more at home, doing the chores, especially taking good care of my little siblings. Unlike my brothers, who can just freely wander at a distance, I can't! Yes, I was jealous of how brave and hardheaded they were, but I think I needed to keep being the good one....

Inflation in the Philippines

  Why is the inflation rate in the Philippines continuously increasing? As of October 1, the rate of 1 peso in USD is 58.80. It even went to 59.26 USD on September 27. It resulted in ever increasing prices of goods in the Philippines, a dilemma for Filipinos, particularly for Filipinos in the lower class. Why is the rate of the Philippine peso continuing to go weaker? The reason why the Philippine peso is sustainably depreciating is in consequence of the US Federal Reserve's rate hike. The US currency is the strongest and most traded currency in the world, and if its inflation goes higher, then it will definitely affect the other currencies as well, and one of them is the Philippine peso. Unfortunately, the US is still combating the country's inflation and the domino effect will continue to worsen by the end of this year (2022) or by next year.
