The Marcos administration is confident that reducing poverty incidence in the Philippines to a single digit will be achieved by the end of its term in 2028, National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Secretary Arsenio Balisacan said Thursday.
Balisacan made the statement after a new Social Weather Stations (SWS) poll showed that 48%, or 13.2 million Filipino families, rated themselves poor in September, up from 45%, or 12.5 million households, in June
