This paper shows how households’ perception of future price changes affect their intention to consume various commodities. Using the BSP Consumer Expectations Survey from 2010 to 2024, the results show that: (a) households’ inflation expectations are driven by their quantitative assessment of future prices, (b) higher inflation expectations prompt households to increase their planned consumption in the near-term, (c) expectations tend to increase with rising international prices of oil and rice and decrease in response to higher policy rates and currency appreciation. The responses of expectations to shocks are transmitted towards corresponding changes in consumption intentions.

: HOW DID CAPIZ GET ITS NAME?

As we continue to delve into origins of place names, let's discover another story about where the name Capiz came from.

There was a story from the elders from tales of long ago that says that Capiz was named from the slim, elongated fish, which the natives called “lapis” or stickfish. When the Spaniards arrived, they saw an abundance of this fish in the area and when they asked the locals, they mistakenly heard "kapis," instead of "lapis", henceforth, from that day on, the land where this fish abounds was called “Capiz”.

: HOW DID CAPIZ GET ITS NAME?

Legend has it that the name Capiz came from "kapid" or twins.

Once upon a time, a powerful datu by the name of Balingangan, the oldest son of Bangkaya, became the most powerful overlord of the Confederation of Madya-as. His wife gave birth to lovely twin girls. He named them "Adlaw" and "Bulan" (which means "Sun and Moon"). To pay homage to his daughters, he named his territory Aklan and Kapid, which means "twins." The Spaniards, who later arrived and colonized the Philippines, had a distinctive method of pronouncing the terminal d as th, which is how the d became z, hence, the reason why Kapid came to be known as Capiz.

: HOW DID CAPIZ GET ITS NAME?

Did you know that the province of Capiz was named after a world-famous shell?

Capiz shell, known as windowpane oyster (Placuna placenta) or pios and lampirong locally, is one of the most sought-after fishery products in the Philippines.

History tells us that this shell has been utilized as a substitute for glass in sliding windows, particularly of the bahay na bato built predominantly during the Spanish period.

In the 1841 edition of Alonso de Mentrida's "Diccionario de la Lengua Bisaya, Hiligueina y Haraya de la Isla de Panay", the word Capiz was found was translated as "co**ha" or seashell.

In an 1860 edition of “Vocabolario de la lengua tagala”, the first Tagalog dictionary, the word Capiz was translated as "la Ventana" (Window).

The oyster saw a notable decline by the 1990s. This decline can be attributed to destructive fishing and gathering techniques such as trawling, dredging, blast fishing, and surface-supplied diving.

Today, capiz shells are primarily used in the production of decorative items like chandeliers, Christmas decorations, and windowpanes. In Capiz, there are community-based industries that thrive in making these items.
