The Philippine Statistics Authority reported there were 19.99 million Filipinos who were considered poor, translating to a poverty incidence rate of 18.1 percent. The government, however, is confident it can achieve its overall target of a 9-percent poverty incidence by 2028.
The global topnotcher in terms of progress in the SDGs is Finland, with an overall score of 86.76 out of 100; while among the Asean-5, the topnotcher is Thailand, ranked 43rd globally with a score of 74.74 out of 100. Based on the report, the Philippines’s progress faces major challenges in the SDGs on good health and well-being; decent work and economic growth; reducing inequalities; life below water; life on land; and peace, justice, and strong institutions.
The data also showed progress is stagnating in the SDGs on quality education; gender equality; affordable and clean energy; sustainable cities and communities; climate action; life on water; and peace, justice, and strong institutions. This includes the G20 meeting in New Delhi, the SDG Summit New York in September, and COP28 in Dubai, to scale up international financial flows based on SDG needs.
