Based on the latest survey of the Social Weather Stations (SWS), at least 16.8 percent of Filipinos face moderate hunger, while 6.1 percent endure severe hunger.

It said that the crisis is most pronounced in Visayas and Mindanao, where percentages have nearly doubled, disproportionately affecting low-income communities.

Through its Hapag Movement and Employee Volunteering Engagement Program, Globe has provided essential food support for individuals and families, including indigenous peoples groups, suffering from involuntary hunger.
