Bumababa raw ang kahirapan sa Pilipinas. Pero bakit parang mas mahirap mabuhay?
The latest PSA data show that poverty incidence fell significantly in 2025. But in 2026, Filipino families are again confronting higher food, electricity, transportation and living costs.
So alin ang tama—the statistics or what your wallet is telling you?
Here’s the answer: both can be true.
In this episode, I explain why the poverty line is not the same as financial security, why 2025 poverty data can coexist with painful 2026 inflation, why averages do not always reflect your family’s reality, and how to calculate your own Survival Number.
We also discuss how to build protection, increase income, reduce financial fragility and start accumulating assets.
