Of 143 states, the Philippines’ standing improved to 53 from last year’s 76 out of 137 countries.

Respondents evaluated their current life as a whole from a score of zero to 10, with 10 being the highest.

The latest ranking is almost similar to the Philippines’ 52nd ranking in the 2020 report, which included data before the COVID-19 pandemic.
