SWS: No change in most Pinoys’ lives
A recent Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey indicates that 42% of Filipinos perceive their quality of life as unchanged compared to the previous year.
The survey, conducted in June 2025 with 1,200 respondents, also found that 35% of adults felt their lives had improved, while 23% reported a decline.
This sentiment emerges amidst a backdrop of low inflation, with the July 2025 inflation rate hitting a six-year low of 0.9%.
The Department of Finance attributes the relief, especially for poorer families, to decreased food prices, particularly for rice.
