Ang Populasyon NG Pilipinas Ay Nasa Humigit
Ang Populasyon NG Pilipinas Ay Nasa Humigit
bilang na ito ay nakatira sa ibaba ng linya ng kahirapan. Bukod dito, 13.5 milyon sa
mga mahihirap sa ekonomiya ang hindi makakain ng tatlong beses sa isang araw,
kung saan 2.7 milyong pamilya ang nakakaranas ng hindi sinasadyang pagkagutom
kahit isang beses sa nakalipas na tatlong buwan.
Ang nais nating sabihin ay dapat nating gamitin nang matalino ang pagkonsumo at
produksyon upang makatulong sa ating kapaligiran dahil kung hindi tayo kikilos na
ginagawa ang ating bahagi ay malalagay sa malaking gulo ang kapaligiran at
masasamang mangyayari tulad ng polusyon kaya kailangan nating kumilos sa lalong
madaling panahon upang maiwasang mangyari ang alinman sa mga ito dahil mataas
ang porsyento ng mga tao sa pilipinas na iresponsableng gumagawa ng pagkonsumo
at produksyon tulad ng paggamit ng maraming kuryente, pagtatapon ng basura sa mga
hindi tamang lugar, pag-aaksaya ng kanilang pinagkukunan, a marami sa mga ito na
sumisira sa kapaligiran.
MANILA, Philippines — The number of Filipinos who said they experienced hunger
during the second quarter of 2022 compared to the previous quarter dropped slightly,
according to a recent Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey.
In a non-commissioned survey conducted by the SWS from June 26 to 29, 2022, 11.6
percent of Filipino families, or an estimated 2.9 million families experienced hunger at
least once in the past three months.
“The June 2022 Hunger rate is 0.6 points below the 12.2% (estimated 3.1 million
families) in April 2022, and 0.2 points below the 11.8% (estimated 3.0 million families)
in December 2021,” said the SWS.
“However, it is 1.6 points above the 10% (estimated 2.5 million families) in September
2021. It is also still 2.3 points above the pre-pandemic annual average of 9.3% in
2019,” it added.
The SWS said that the 0.6 percent drop in overall hunger between the first and second
quarter of the year was due to the declines in Metro Manila and Visayas.
“Compared to April 2022, the incidence of hunger fell by 3.9 points in Metro Manila,
from 18.6% (est. 636,000 families) in April 2022 to 14.7% (est. 501,000 families) in
June 2022,” the SWS survey stated.
“It fell by 2.1 points in the Visayas, from 7.8% (est. 373,000 families) in April 2022 to
5.7% (est. 272,000 families) in June 2022,” it added.
A 0.9 increase%, on the other hand, was recorded in Mindanao, from 13.1 percent
(estimated 761,000 families) in April 2022 to 14 percent (estimated 816,000 families)
in June 2022.
Balance Luzon, meanwhile, rose by 0.2 percent from 11.7 percent (estimated 1.3
million families) in April 2022 to 11.9 percent (estimated 1.4 million families) in June
2022.
More ‘moderate hunger’ vs ‘severe hunger’
The SWS also reported that 9.4 percent or around 2.4 million families experienced
“moderate hunger,” while 2.1 percent or 546,000 families experienced “severe hunger.
As explained by SWS, moderate hunger refers to those who experienced hunger “Only
Once” or “A Few Times” in the last three months, while severe hunger refers to those
who experienced it “Often” or “Always” in the last three months.
SWS said the non-commissioned survey covered 1,500 adults, using face-to-face
interviews, with sampling error margins of ±2.5 percent for national percentages and
±5.7 percent each for Metro Manila, the Visayas, and Mindanao and ±4.0 percent in
Balance Luzon
