THE total number of Filipinos saying their lives improved in the country rose in the first quarter of 2019, a Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey found.

The SWS poll found that 38 percent of Filipinos considered themselves as “gainers,” while 21 percent said their lives worsened in the last 12 months.

This resulted in a net gainer score of +17, which the SWS classified as “very high,” even higher than in December when Filipinos’ net gainer score was at +12.

The March survey was conducted from March 28 to 31, 2019 among 1,440 Filipinos aged 18 years old and above.

It had sampling error margins of ±2.6 percent for national percentages, and ±5 percent each for Balance Luzon, Metro Manila, the Visayas and Mindanao. RALPH VILLANUEVA
