MANILA \u2013 Malaca\u00f1ang has welcomed the findings of a new Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey, which showed self-rated poverty and food poverty ratings at multi-year lows, noting that good governance has strengthened the economy and increased opportunities for Filipinos.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe welcome the most recent survey results released by the Social Weather Stations, which put both self-rated poverty and food poverty rates at multi-year lows,\u201d Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda said in a statement issued on Friday.<\/p>\n

The survey, conducted from March 30 to April 2, showed that the number of families who consider themselves poor has dropped to 46 percent \u2013 equivalent to 10.5 million families \u2013 in the first quarter, from 50 percent \u2013 equivalent to 11.<\/p>\n

2 million families \u2013 in December last year, translating to an estimated 700,000 families no longer living in poverty.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThis percentage is the lowest recorded in over four years, since December 2011,\u201d Secretary Lacierda said.<\/p>\n

He further said that the results reflect declining quarterly rates noted in all regions except Mindanao, with self-rated poverty falling by 14 points in Visayas and by 7 points in Metro Manila.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt 53 percent, even the poverty rate for Mindanao has fallen considerably compared to the 63 percent full-year average for 2015,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In terms of self-rated food poverty, the poll showed a decline to 31 percent \u2013 equivalent to 6.9 million families \u2013 from 33 percent \u2013 equivalent to 7.<\/p>\n

4 million families \u2013 last December.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn real numbers, this means about 500,000 families no longer consider themselves food-poor,\u201d Lacierda said.<\/p>\n

The Palace official said that according to the SWS, the decline is supported by lower food poverty rates in Visayas and Mindanao, which, compared to last quarter, fell by 17 and 4 points, respectively.<\/p>\n

\u201cRelative to the region\u2019s full-year average for 2015 (51 percent), Mindanao\u2019s rate especially improved \u2013 it is now only at 37 percent, the lowest quarterly rate since December 2011,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Lacierda said the Aquino administration has remained \u201cunwavering in our commitment to sustainable and equitable progress\u201d for the past six years.<\/p>\n

\u201cBelieving that good governance is good economics, we have sought to better the lives of Filipinos by making appropriate investments in areas such as health, education, infrastructure, and job skills development,\u201d he said, adding that this has resulted in the \u201cstrengthening of our economy and the expansion of opportunities for our countrymen.\u201d<\/p>\n

He further said that the administration has striven for more direct interventions, such as the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps).<\/p>\n

He cited the Department of Social Welfare and Development\u2019s latest studies, which showed that the flagship poverty alleviation program of the government \u201chas not only successfully lifted millions above the poverty threshold, but has also placed families in a better position to break the intergenerational cycle of poverty.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, with the world\u2019s eyes on the Philippines, it is up to the next administration to ensure that our remarkable growth story continues \u2013 toward even greater success for the country and even better opportunities for the Filipino,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In previous speeches, President Benigno S. Aquino III has reported that some 4.6 million households across the country are benefitting from the 4Ps beneficiaries.<\/p>\n

President Aquino said 1.5 million families, or about 7.7 million Filipinos, have already been lifted above the poverty line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
