Where the numbers come from
Every figure on Konteksto is fetched from a public source on a schedule, stored in our own archive, and served from there — pages never invent or estimate numbers. Check any of it yourself:
| What | Source | How often | Verify |
|---|---|---|---|
| USD:PHP + ASEAN currencies | European Central Bank reference rates via Frankfurter | Daily (business days) | link |
| Inflation — monthly (headline, core, food, rice) | PSA OpenSTAT, 2018-based CPI (tables 0012M4ACP23 / 31) | Monthly, after each PSA release | link |
| Inflation — annual + international | World Bank, FP.CPI.TOTL.ZG (since 1960) | Updated with the monthly job | link |
| Fuel pump prices + weekly DOE change | PRIMARY: official brand announcements / DOE advisory as reported by trusted press (GMA, Inquirer, Philstar…). CROSS-CHECK + brand ranges: fuelprice.ph. Disagreements alert us automatically. | Weekly (Tuesday) | link |
| Next-week fuel projections | Publicly reported industry/DOE projections (GMA News, Inquirer, Philstar, et al.) — each call links its article | Thu/Fri + Monday confirmation | link |
| Crude trading lean | Dubai crude benchmark from the fuelprice.ph live ticker — a public proxy for direction, not MOPS | Weekly (with the Tuesday fuel pull) | link |

Notes
- Ingestion is automated and monitored; if a source breaks, we get paged the same hour.
- Peso display convention: arrows track the USD:PHP rate (▲ = rate up); colors track what it means for the peso (green = peso stronger, red = peso weaker); the words always say it outright.
- Fuel prices are national reference advisories — provincial pumps typically run ₱5–₱25/L higher.
- Konteksto is independent and non-commercial: not affiliated with the DOE, PSA, BSP, or any oil company.
