More Pinoys say lives worsened in 2025 – SWS
A recent Social Weather Stations (SWS) poll revealed that 29% of Filipino adults believe their quality of life improved over the past year, while 36% felt it worsened.
The survey indicated that 34% of respondents experienced no change in their quality of life.
The net gainers score, calculated by subtracting the percentage of losers from gainers, registered at -7, which is considered 'fair' and the lowest in four years.
Mindanao recorded the highest net gainers score at +2, classified as 'high', while other regions like Balance Luzon, Metro Manila, and the Visayas had 'fair' to 'mediocre' scores.
Both urban and rural areas saw a decline in net gainers scores compared to the previous survey in September.
The SWS survey was conducted from November 24 to 30, 2025, involving face-to-face interviews with 1,200 adults nationwide.
