At a glance

  • President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. has approved the recommendation to impose a mandated price ceiling on rice in the country amid the "alarming" increase in its retail prices.

  • “Hanna” (international name: Haikui) intensified into a typhoon on Friday, Sept. 1, but the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said it is still unlikely to make landfall over any part of the country. It has maximum sustained winds of 120 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center and gusts of up to 150 kph as of 11 a.m., Friday.

  • Consumers will feel the heat of a budget swell on their cooking fuel this month as the price of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) will rise by a hefty P6.64 to P6.65 per kilogram or P73.04 to P73.15 for the standard 11-kilogram cylinder.

The day’s top stories are all but a click away in the MB Daily News Summary this Friday afternoon, September 1, 2023.
