MANILA, Philippines — “We see the drop in our national hunger rate as hard evidence that the government programs to address hunger and poverty are working. For some the drop to 9.1 percent from the previous quarter’s 10 percent may seem nominal, that is just about 200,000 less families from June’s 2.5 million families, but to us this means that the steps concerned agencies are taking are in the right direction”.
Ito ang sinabi ni Presidential Communications Sec. Martin Andanar batay sa pinakahuling survey ng Social Weather Station (SWS) na bunga ng programa ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte na sugpuin ang kagutuman at kahirapan sa bansa.
Simula pa lamang nang maupong pangulo ay sinimulan na nito ang mga programa na lulutas sa kahirapan at kagutuman sa bansa.
