Despite doleouts, hunger incidence highest since ’09

10/28/2011
Despite the vaunted cash transfer doleouts or the social welfare department’s Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) the pang of hunger among Filipino households was recorded at its highest since December 2009 with one in five households saying it experienced a day going by with nothing to eat, the results of a Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey conducted between last Sept. 4 and 7 showed.

The question posed was “In the last 3 months, did it happen even once that your family expe-rienced hunger and not have anything to eat?” Those who answered in the affirmative were further asked: “Did it happen only once, a few times, often, or always?”

The survey showed that severe hunger or those who answered often or always among those
who missed out on daily meals was experienced by 3.5 percent of respondents and moderate hunger or those who answered once and a few times of having nothing to eat reached 18 percent..... MORE

itong survey siguro na ito reliable dahil walang politika involved? o baka naman mas malala pa ang totoo??

"The hunger level was only matched during the surveys in December, 2009 at 24 percent; March, 2010 at 21.2 percent and June, 2010 at 21.1 percent but these were within the periods of the rice price crisis when the prices of the staple food shot up to about P50 per kilo."

The CCT is not a dole out.

It never was.

Teach the destitute and allow them to fish so they may have their dignity. The savages at the palace make them begars instead..for life. Stinky Dinky always treat them as such, while she thumbs her nose and eat the boogers. Oops I saw that I told you she would eat it now give up the P11B on the bet you looser..and the P10B more for the bet that she would pick her nose in public. Like she did during GMA's reign with CODE NGO.

Told you so... heidious skunk isnt she. With that streak of highliner. Oh and shameless is her middle name.

Mister President!! If this was the sicilian mafia and you hired a POS like soliman, you would be floating in a Boston sewer by now capish..
