The annual inflation rate quickened for a second month in September to 6.1%, bringing the year-to-date average rate to 6.6%, far from the central bank's 2%-4% target for the year. "We have done enough," said Diokno, who is a member of the central bank's seven-member policy making monetary board, during a news conference on Friday for release on Monday."Core inflation has gone down."

It next meets on Nov. 16 to review policy, after the Philippines releases its third quarter growth data on Nov. 9.
