More Filipinos are hopeful that their personal quality of life will improve in the next 12 months, a Social Weather Stations survey said.
The third quarter nationwide survey conducted last Sept. 23 to 27 with 1,500 respondents found out that 47 percent of Filipinos expect their personal quality of life to improve in the next 12 months.
Four percent, on the other hand, expect quality of life to get worse.
This translates to a net personal optimism of “excellent” +42, which is two points above the +40 (44 percent hopeful, four percent not hopeful) in June 2017, classified by SWS also as “excellent.”
