Optimism ‘very high’ among Filipinos on life improving in 2026 – SWS

2025/12/31 10:39

MANILA, Philippines – About 44% of Filipinos believe their lives will improve in 2026, giving a net optimism score of +36, which pollster Social Weather Stations said was higher than a previous survey result.

The optimism rate remained very high, SWS said, after a +35 score in September. The survey, conducted from November 24 to 30, asked participants whether their quality of life over the next 12 months would improve, stay the same, or worsen.

The one-point increase was due to “slight increases” in the scores in Mindanao and Luzon, excluding Metro Manila, said SWS.

The lowest optimism was registered in Visayas which decreased to +29 or considered just “high,” compared to the very high scores in the rest of the country, the highest being an excellent +40 in Balance Luzon. Balance Luzon is the entire Luzon without Metro Manila.

In the history of this survey, SWS said “net personal optimism turned negative only 11 times, hitting a record low of -19 in May 2020 during the COVID-19 lockdowns. It has since recovered to pre-pandemic levels.”

Optimism was excellent among college graduates and even among senior high school students, said SWS, and was very high among both men and women.

“Net Optimism tends to decline with age: as of November 2025, it was highest among 18-24-year-olds at excellent +54, followed by 25-34-year-olds at excellent +41, 35-44-year-olds at very high +39, 45-54-year-olds at very high +34, and those 55 years and older at high +28,” said SWS.

When it comes to the country’s welfare, a recent Pulse Asia survey showed that inflation and corruption are among Filipinos’ top concerns.

Is Doge Losing Steam As Traders Choose Pepeto For The Best Crypto Investment?

The post Is Doge Losing Steam As Traders Choose Pepeto For The Best Crypto Investment? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 17:39 Is dogecoin really fading? As traders hunt the best crypto to buy now and weigh 2025 picks, Dogecoin (DOGE) still owns the meme coin spotlight, yet upside looks capped, today’s Dogecoin price prediction says as much. Attention is shifting to projects that blend culture with real on-chain tools. Buyers searching “best crypto to buy now” want shipped products, audits, and transparent tokenomics. That frames the true matchup: dogecoin vs. Pepeto. Enter Pepeto (PEPETO), an Ethereum-based memecoin with working rails: PepetoSwap, a zero-fee DEX, plus Pepeto Bridge for smooth cross-chain moves. By fusing story with tools people can use now, and speaking directly to crypto presale 2025 demand, Pepeto puts utility, clarity, and distribution in front. In a market where legacy meme coin leaders risk drifting on sentiment, Pepeto’s execution gives it a real seat in the “best crypto to buy now” debate. First, a quick look at why dogecoin may be losing altitude. Dogecoin Price Prediction: Is Doge Really Fading? Remember when dogecoin made crypto feel simple? In 2013, DOGE turned a meme into money and a loose forum into a movement. A decade on, the nonstop momentum has cooled; the backdrop is different, and the market is far more selective. With DOGE circling ~$0.268, the tape reads bearish-to-neutral for the next few weeks: hold the $0.26 shelf on daily closes and expect choppy range-trading toward $0.29–$0.30 where rallies keep stalling; lose $0.26 decisively and momentum often bleeds into $0.245 with risk of a deeper probe toward $0.22–$0.21; reclaim $0.30 on a clean daily close and the downside bias is likely neutralized, opening room for a squeeze into the low-$0.30s.
