What happened
A survey commissioned by the Stratbase Group found that 35% of Filipinos want the national government to prioritize making food, including rice, meat, and fish, more affordable. This demand comes as inflation accelerated to 7.2% in September, reaching a three-year high. Furthermore, 71% of Filipinos stated that the Marcos administration should control inflation.
