ABOUT 32% of adult Filipinos said their quality of life deteriorated in the third quarter, while 30% said theirs improved, according to the latest Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey released on Tuesday.

The survey, conducted through face-to-face interviews with 1,500 respondents from Sept. 24-30, also found that nearly four in ten (38%) said their quality of life was unchanged.

The results, classified by SWS as “fair,” reversed the double-digit gains seen earlier in the year. The Q3 poll has a +3 percentage-point margin of error for national estimates.

The results showed Filipino households grew more pessimistic about their quality of life during the quarter, with sentiment sliding to its weakest level in two years as more families reported worsening living conditions.

There's already a deal to beat dirty fossil fuels

A UNITED NATIONS climate summit has once again failed to strengthen a pledge made two years ago to transition \"away from fossil fuels.\" Instead, these dirty drivers of the climate crisis went completely unacknowledged in the weekend's COP30 agreement. It's disappointing, certainly, but a more ambitious outcome wouldn't have been much better.
