Fewer Pinoys went hungry in 2015 - SWS

The number of Filipino families who experienced involuntary hunger decreased in the last quarter of 2015, bringing the full-year average to its lowest point in 11 years, according to a Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey.

The survey showed that 11.7 percent of the respondents, or around 2.6 million families, said they did not eat at least once in the past three months. The figure is four percent lower than the 15.7 percent—equivalent to 3.5 million families—recorded in September last year.
