Most Pinoys say life will improve in 2025

Nearly half of Filipino adults (47%) expressed optimism that their quality of life will improve in the next 12 months, according to the latest Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey. 

The poll conducted from September 14 to September 23 also found that 40% said it would stay the same, and 5% said it would worsen (“pessimists”) in the next 12 months.

The remaining 8% did not answer. The net personal optimism score was +42, which was classified as “excellent” by SWS.

The 1-point increase in the national Net Personal Optimism score between June 2024 and September 2024 was due to slight increases in Metro Manila and the Visayas, along with a slight decrease in Mindanao and a steady score in Balance Luzon.

Compared to June 2024, Net Personal Optimism stayed excellent in Metro Manila, up by 5 points from +40 to +45.

It also stayed excellent in Balance Luzon, hardly moving from +49 to +48, while it rose from high to very high in the Visayas, up by 4 points from +27 to +31.

Meanwhile, optimism stayed very high in Mindanao, although down by 2 points from +39 to +37.

Compared to June 2024, Net Personal Optimism stayed excellent among those who either graduated from college or took post-graduate studies, although down by 3 points from +50 to +47.

The Third Quarter 2024 Social Weather Survey was conducted using face-to-face interviews of 1,500 adults (18 years old and above) nationwide: while 600 in Balance Luzon (or Luzon outside Metro Manila), and 300 each in Metro Manila, the Visayas, and Mindanao.
