MANILA – Despite the impact of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic on their health and the economy, Malacañang is delighted with the results of a recent survey that classified Filipinos’ net personal optimism as “very high”.
Based on the results of the Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey conducted from April 19 to 27, 2022, a total of 44 percent of adult Filipinos indicated that their quality of life will improve, 39 percent said it will stay the same, and 4 percent claimed it will worsen, in the next 12 months. The remaining 13 percent did not give an answer.
SWS classifies the resulting net personal optimism score of +39 as “very high”. This figure is three points below the excellent +42 for December 2021 and five points below the excellent +44 for December 2019 prior to the pandemic.
“The Palace welcomes the April 2022 Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey showing a +39 Net Personal Optimism, classified as very high by SWS, which is also a few points below the pre-pandemic level of excellent +44 in December 2019,” acting presidential spokesperson and Communications Secretary Martin Andanar said in a press statement.
“The Duterte administration has put a premium on both health and the economy,” Andanar added.
He credited the very high net personal optimism score of the Filipinos to the Duterte administration’s Covid-19 response.
“Central to the success of our pandemic response is maintaining our vigilance against Covid-19 with strict adherence to minimum public health standards while ensuring the country’s socioeconomic recovery, where livelihood opportunities are available, hunger is eased, and quality of life is improved,” he added.
President Rodrigo R. Duterte stated in a speech on June 6 that his administration contained the Covid-19 pandemic in a short period of time.
Duterte also lauded the Filipinos’ adherence to Covid-19’s health protocols, noting that this helped them to regain their confidence to return to work.
As of June 26, about 70.25 million Filipinos have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19, according to the National Task Force (NTF) against Covid-19.
The Philippines climbed from the bottom of the Nikkei Covid-19 Recovery Index to 33rd as infections decreased and restrictions were eased.
This is a significant increase from 57th rank in November and last or 121st place in September of previous year.
Hi! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?
I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking
at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
I’ve been surfing online more than 2 hours today, yet
I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me.
In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made good content
as you did, the net will be much more useful than ever before.
