Inflation (CPI) during each president's tenure
Every president since 1991, ranked by how the inflation (CPI) changed from their first day in office. Politare shows what happened during a tenure; it does not claim the office-holder caused it.

Sorted by total, highest first. Every row is indexed to the last month complete before the first day in office ("from" marks a start that had to move because that period had no data, or because the period cut it); Levels are per cent changes, rates are differences in pp; "per year" compounds levels and divides rates. Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out. % change on a year earlier · Philippine Statistics Authority (OpenSTAT), consumer price index for all income households, all items, 2018 = 100 (PSA's backcasts on the same base before 2018), change on the same month a year earlier · Philippines data · as of Oct 2026.
