Palasyo, tinutugunan ang pagtaas ng bilang ng mga Pinoy na nagsabing mas naghirap sa buhay
Tinutugunan na ng Palasyo ng Malakanyang ang pagtaas ng bilang ng mga Filipino na nagsasabing mas naghirap sila sa buhay.
Ayon kay acting presidential spokesman Martin Andanar, ang pagkakaroon ng pandemya sa COVID-19 ang isa sa mga dahilan kung kaya tumaas ang bilang ng mga Filipino na nag hirap.
Base sa pinakahuling survey ng Social Weather Station, umakyat sa 10.9 milyong pamilyang Filipino ang nagsabi na mahirap ang kanilang buhay.
Isinagawa ang survey noong April 19 hanggang 27, 2022.
“The Duterte Administration has earlier vowed a comfortable life for every Filipino family and attained a significant milestone when poverty incidence declined from 23.3% in 2015 to 16.7% in 2018. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has taken a heavy toll on income and job opportunities as reflected in the latest Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey, conducted April 2022, showing 43% of Filipino families feel poor – the same rating reflected in their December 2021 survey,” pahayag ni Andanar.
Ayon kay Andanar, pinalakas na ng pamahalaan ang economic recovery para matulungan ang mga mahihirap na Filipino.
“It is for this reason that we have accelerated social and economic recovery while managing the risk due to COVID-19. For the immediate term, our efforts include shifting to Alert Level 1 to further improve the performance of key sectors such as tourism and opening of schools for face-to-face learning,” pahayag ni Andanar.
Sinabi pa ni Andanar na ipinatutupad na ng pamahalaan ang 10-Point Police Agenda para makabangon na ang ekonomiya ng bansa.
“We recognize that much more needs to be done to lift Filipino families from their poor condition. We have therefore adopted a Ten-Point Policy Agenda for Economic Recovery last April 2022 where all government agencies are directed to ensure all-related policies, programs and measures of the government are aligned with the Ten-Point Policy Agenda,” pahayag ni Andanar.
