Defining the News
The Trade Union Congress of the Philippines scored the National Economic and Development Authority for saying a Filipino can survive on P64 a day to cover three meals.
“The government and employers abuse these silly statistics to dismiss the survival crisis of the working class—to make ends meet,” TUCP vice president Luis Corral said. NEDA Secretary-General Arsenio Balisacan earlier said an individual who can spend at least P64 per day on food, which equates to about P20 per meal will not be classified as “food poor.”
