MANILA — Three out of 5 or 62 percent of adult Filipinos said that quality of life got worse this year, according to a recent Social Weather Stations survey released Monday.
According to the survey results, 24 percent said it was the same and 14 percent said it got better in the last 12 months.
The figures were based on a non-commissioned survey on 1,500 Filipinos from November 21-25 done face-to-face wherein they were asked whether their life improved, remained the same, or got worse. “It rose but stayed catastrophic in Metro Manila, up by 21 points from -76 to -55, and the Visayas, up by 24 points from -80 to -56,” SWS said.
Around 16 percent or 4 million families experienced involuntary hunger or “hunger due to lack of food to eat – at least once in the past three months.”
