00:16 Good morning. There are more Filipino families who said they are poor if we will close the survey of a group in the second quarter of the year.

01:43 It's expensive. I cannot afford it.
01:47 We are just discarding it.
01:51 We are just saving rice. It's P57.
01:54 We are just eating once a day.
01:57 It's a priority for the kids to go to school. They have their own children.
02:00 The results of the Octa Research Group's second quarter survey show
02:04 that the number of Filipinos who claim that they consider their family poor is higher.
02:09 It's 50 percent or equivalent to 13.4 million families.

02:20 Nine percent said that they are not poor.
02:23 41 percent said that they are not poor.
02:27 In the same survey, 15 percent or equivalent to 3.9 million families experienced starvation.
02:33 It's almost the same as the results in the first quarter of the year.
02:37 Despite their poverty, Edgardo and Nancy are working hard.
02:41 They are working hard to earn a living.
02:46 I have hope. I will just work hard.
02:49 I think it's positive.
02:51 I hope that I will live.
02:54 Even if life is not hard, if you don't find a way, your life will be harder.
03:02 You have to work hard.
