MANILA, Nov 5 (Reuters) - The Philippines' annual consumer
price index (CPI) rose 0.8% in October from a year earlier,
matching expectations, the statistics agency said on Tuesday.
A Reuters poll had forecast the CPI in October would rise
0.8% from a year earlier, within the central bank's 0.5%-1.3%
forecast range for the month.
That is less that a 0.9% increase in September.
