A recent survey says fewer Filipino families considered themselves as poor, with the share of the respondents falling to 45% compared to a similar survey done in June when self-rated poverty was 48% of those polled.

"The national Social Weather Survey of September 12-16, 2021, found 45% of Filipino families rating themselves as Mahirap or Poor, 34% rating themselves as Borderline Poor , and 21% rating themselves as Hindi Mahirap or Not Poor," said the Social Weather Stations survey results released Nov. 27."The estimated numbers of Self-Rated Poor families are 11.4 million in September 2021 and 12.0 million in June 2021," said SWS, which conducted the survey among 1,200 adults.

The survey, conducted over the period Sept. 12-16, also noted the number of self-rated poverty rose in Mindano — from 51% to 58%. "Compared to June 2021, Not Poor hardly changed in all areas: it went from 7% to 4% in the Visayas, from 38% to 37% in Metro Manila, from 34% to 30% in Balance Luzon, and from 7% to 8% in Mindanao," the pollster added.
