MANILA, Philippines- Pasok ang Pilipinas sa listahan ng mga “happiest and most optimistic” na mga bansa sa buong mundo, ayon sa isang nationwide study ng Philippine Survey and Research Center (PSRC) at Gallup International Association (GIA) in 2024.

Nanguna ang China sa listahan ng pinakamasayang mga bansa, sinundan ng Indonesia, Mexico at Kazakhstan.
Ang net happiness score (% happy Filipinos minus unhappy) ay 60%. Mas mataas ito sa global average na 46%. Ayon sa GIA, “regionally Southeast Asians are the happiest (73%) while those in South Asia [India] are the unhappiest (36%) with China (86%) and Indonesia (85%) the happiest.”
“Regionally Southeast Asians are the happiest (73%) while those in South Asia [India] are the unhappiest (36%) with China (86%) and Indonesia (85%) the happiest,” anang GIA.
Nanguna rin ang Pilipinas sa mga bansa sa Asya na may positibong pananaw para sa 2025 sa net optimism na 40 percent.
“As they edge ever closer to The Kingdom’s 2030 vision, it is Saudi Arabians who are most optimistic with 82% hopeful for 2025. Austrians are the most concerned, with 50% expecting a downturn in 2025 and only 15% keeping their positivity,” base sa GIA.
“The Philippines still performs above global average on happiness and hope. A lot of this positive sentiment is driven by younger and upper/middle income segments. This is in spite of economic difficulties and multiple typhoons in 2024,” dagdag sa ulat.
Subalit, dagdag nito, “uncertainty is slowly creeping into many Filipino segments.”
“There are more and more middle-grounders, hedging their dispositions and getting into wait-and-see mode…. More cautiousness is observed.”
“This is a big challenge for aspiring leaders, as Philippines enters the midterm elections in 2025. While the Philippines remains a nation of resilience, keeping their positive disposition high, leaders need to be on the lookout for what will happen next. There will be needs in gaining back confidence and strengthening the disposition of Filipinos,” dagdag pa.
Saklaw ng worldwide study ang kabuuang 37,338 indibidwal mula sa 37 bansa. Sa Pilipinas, nagsagawa ng face-to-face interviews sa 1,000 randomly sampled respondents na “nationally representative.”
Ang respondents ay mga babae at lalaki, 18-anyos pataas mula sa nationwide urban at rural areas at lahat ng socio-economic classes. Ang survey ay mayroong margin of error na 3%. RNT/SA
