MANILA, Philippines — Four in 10 Filipinos said their lives got worse in the past 12 months, a poll conducted by Social Weather Stations suggested.

The survey done from December 12 to 16, 2021 asked 1,440 Filipinos: “Comparing your quality of life these days to how it was 12 months ago, would you say your quality of life is better now than before, same as before, or worse now than before?”

Forty percent of the respondents said their quality of life became worse (classified by SWS as “losers”) after 12 months, while 24% said it got better (classified as “gainers”). Thirty-six percent of the respondents said their lives remained unchanged.
