CONTROVERSIAL PSYCHIC MADAM Suzette Arandela predicts that the Year of the Fire Horse is a challenging year.
“The tempo of our economy is very weak in 2026. The first until the third quarter of the year sees a very slow-moving growth in practically all businesses,” she says.
Madam Suzette has a piece of advice, though. “In order to strengthen the national economy and individual businesses, we need to subscribe to new strategies. Our government, the public as well as the private sector must encourage the citizenry to patronize our own local products and services,” she recommends.
“Foreign investors harbor second thoughts and are discouraged by corruption in government and systemic bureaucratic maneuvering.
“Gas and crude price hikes continue because of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
“If the government doesn’t do anything about the politicians involved in corruption, the public continues to stage massive protest rallies while the masses wallow in poverty amid anomalies in the bureaucracy this year,” Arandela gushes.
“Emotions are high among the Filipinos that lead to depression, anxiety and eventually, suicide among the young and adults alike … In social life, separations, live-in relationships, and marital scandals are ubiquitous … Natural calamities, both natural and man-made abound in the Year of the Fire Horse.”
POLITICS, DRUGS, SCAMS
“In politics, a new charismatic personality emerges and plans to run in the 2028 polls,” exclaims Madam Suzette. “Sara Duterte moves heaven and earth to run for the presidency in 2028. Former president Rodrigo Duterte won’t be absolved from his cases and will languish in the custody of the international Criminal Court,” she adds.
Drugs, according to Madam Suzette, are everywhere and the root causes of crimes like robbery, murder and rape, especially among the youth.
“Emotions are high among the Filipinos that lead to depression, anxiety and eventually, suicide among the young and adults alike.
Scams, of all shapes and sizes, particularly online, are prevalent in 2026, says Madam Suzette.
“In social life, separations, live-in relationships, and marital scandals are ubiquitous,” she adds. “Natural calamities, both natural and man-made abound in the Year of the Fire Horse.”
MORE FLOODS, QUAKES
“15 strong typhoons will visit the Philippines between July and October and five of them are the strongest.
“Massive floods will happen in Bulacan, Laguna, Quezon City, Cebu, Davao and the rest of Metro Manila because of heavy typhoons.
“Beware of sea transport especially in the Visayas and Mindanao.
“There will be fires all around the country especially in Caloocan, Bulacan, Davao, Iloilo and Bohol. There will be 6.5 to 7.5 intensity quakes in Bicol, Mindanao, Surigao del Sur, Laguna and Batangas.
Taal and Mayon Volcanoes and one other volcano will erupt.
GOOD YEAR FOR SHOWBIZ
The local show business, says Madam Suzette, will enjoy its success.
“Good projects will earn at the box-office, here and abroad. “Kathryn Bernardo, Alden Richards and Dingdong Dantes will receive international recognition.
“Many celebrities get married as well as separate this year.
“A veteran actor dies due to illness, an actress due to depression and an actor due to a car accident.
