MANILA, Philippines\u2014The Department of \u00a0Social Welfare and Development considered the series of calamities that hit the country as among the factors why many Filipinos rated themselves poor.<\/p>\n

This was the reaction of Social Welfare Secretary Corazon \u201cDinky\u201d Soliman on the recent SWS Survey showing more Filipinos regarded themselves as poor.<\/p>\n

Despite the conditional cash transfer (CCT), there is a slight increase of Filipinos who claimed or considered themselves as poor.<\/p>\n

\u201c50 to 55 percent said they are poor so this is a great challenge for us to look into ways on things we still need to do particularly on Yolanda-hit areas,\u201d Soliman said.<\/p>\n

The DSWD also urged the public to help the agency in formulating an effective program to help eradicate poverty in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe welcome proposals and suggestions on how we can improve the system. We can never have a perfect system,\u201d Soliman said.<\/p>\n

An estimated 11.8 million Filipino families rated themselves as poor, while some 8.8 million families said they were \u201cfood-poor,\u201d a recent survey by SWS found.<\/p>\n

The survey was conducted from Dec. 11 to 16 nationwide and the results were first published in the BusinessWorld newspaper.<\/p>\n

SWS found 55 percent of the respondents saying that they were poor, up from 50 percent, or 10.8 million families, three months earlier.<\/p>\n

It also found that 41 percent of the households considered themselves food-poor, up from 37 percent, or 7.9 million, in September. The poverty threshold is the monthly budget that households need in order not to consider themselves poor.<\/p>\n

The full-year self-rated poverty averaged 52 percent last year, unchanged from 2012, while the full-year self-rated food poverty average declined to 39 percent from 41 percent.<\/p>\n

Self-rated poverty increased across areas, except in Mindanao where it stood at 59 percent, down from 61 percent in the previous quarter. The full-year average was 55 percent, lower than the 67 percent in 2012.<\/p>\n
