Snippet:
AFTER nearly four months of war, the United States and Iran have finally confirmed that a preliminary deal to end their conflict has been agreed, and is expected to be signed in Switzerland on Friday, June 19. This is welcome news for us here in the Philippines, as we have been hit hard by skyrocketing fuel prices, supply-chain disruptions and general uncertainty reducing economic activity.
