A new Stratbase and Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey reveals that only 33% of Filipinos believe their quality of life has improved over the past year, while 43% report no change and 25% say it has worsened. The survey, conducted amidst a government declared food security emergency due to rising rice prices, highlights growing concerns about economic hardship and food affordability.
As the government declares a food security emergency due to rising rice prices, a new Stratbase and Social Weather Stations survey shows that only around 1 in 3 Filipinos believe their quality of life has improved over the past year.
Respondents were asked: “Comparing your quality of life these days to how it was 12 months ago, would you say that your quality of life is BETTER NOW THAN BEFORE, SAME AS BEFORE, or WORSE NOW THAN BEFORE?”
