MANILA, Philippines — Instead of fear, around 95% of adult Filipinos are entering the New Year with hope — two points higher than what was recorded in 2021 and similar to the pre-COVID-19 record of 96% in 2019.

This is according to a recent survey by the Social Weather Station released, Friday, which was conducted from December 10 to 14, 2022.

"On the other hand, 5% will enter the New Year with fear, down by 2 points from 7% in 2020 and 2021," said SWS in a statement yesterday.
