SCENE 1
CENE 1
(moenter Marian ug Maryanne nga naay dalang milktea nya naa na daan sa sud si Daniella then
magstorya sila tulo)
Daniella: Wazzup! What's that? Milk tea?
Marian: This one? Yes.
Daniella: How much?
Maryanne: P110 at Zion Tea House.
Daniella: What? One Hundred Ten? Nah too expensive.
Marian: Trueee. Before, milktea only costs 47 pesos.
Daniella: Yeah, I'd like to buy one but, nah, I changed my mind.
Maryanne: The increase of the price makes me sad. :((

SCENE 2
(Jem ug Brent maglakaw-lakaw then Brent suddenly remembers something)
Brent: Hey Jem, you said you would buy me something?
Jem: Okay, what do you want?
(ipakita ni brent ngadtong ni jem unsay iya gusto gikan sa iya cp)
Jem: WHAT? 89 pesos just for that? Nah, just forget what I said.
Brent: You're an ekis, you scammed me.

[the infomercial part (?)]

Russel : Are you not pleased with the constant increase in prices?
Angela : You can't buy your friends something anymore because your money isn't enough?
Russel : Are you already in a three months diet just to fit your one month budget?
Angela : Those are just some of the damages caused by... INFLATION.
Russel : But what is inflation?
(Mo enter si marian)
Marian: In economics, inflation is defined as an increase in an economy's overall price level of products
and services.
(mosunod si maryanne)
Maryanne: When the general price level rises, each unit of currency buys less products and services;
hence, inflation corresponds to a decrease of purchasing power, which everyone is currently
experiencing.

Jem: So, how can we combat inflation?

Brent: We can combat inflation through our knowledge in economics.
Daniella: Economics provides knowledge to the citizens about the causes and effects of inflation.
Brent: We will also know how to adjust, prevent, and minimize the error caused by inflation.

Russel: So, come and let's find out, test, and cultivate our knowledge about inflation and economics.
