In this episode of the Project 7 to 1 Podcast, Carlo Ople sits
down with Ateneo de Manila University economics professor and
Senior Research Fellow Dr. Ser Percival Peña-Reyes. Widely
recognized for making complex economic issues easy to understand,
Ser Percival has recently gained attention on social media for
breaking down topics such as the Philippines’ upper middle-income
classification, the true state of the middle class, healthcare
costs, inflation, and the realities behind everyday economic
headlines.

The conversation explores the gap between economic data and the
lived experiences of ordinary Filipinos. From wages, inflation,
and purchasing power to the rising cost of healthcare and why
many families still feel financially vulnerable despite positive
macroeconomic indicators, Ser Percival explains the numbers in a
way that’s practical, relatable, and grounded in everyday life.

Expect an insightful and engaging discussion that cuts through
the jargon, challenges common misconceptions, and helps make
sense of the economic issues shaping the lives of Filipinos
today.
