In 2022, 12 percent of Filipino families experienced hunger at least once in the previous three months (“Fourth Quarter 2022 Social Weather Survey: Hunger moves from 11.3% to 11.8%,”
The national hunger rate was steady last year, according to the SWS surveys of April, June, October, and December. To me, this steadiness indicates no visible effect on hunger of the increases in prices of some foods, like onions, eggs, or sugar, at least as of the fourth quarter; it might be otherwise if the price of rice had increased.
A single-digit hunger rate is actually rare; this may be seen in the full data series in every SWS quarterly hunger report. It previously happened only twice: in 1999 and in 2003 . Unlike poverty, hunger does not have a long-term downward trend. It remains a perennial problem. Econometric modeling of hunger at the UP School of Statistics . Using the SWS quarterly data, UPSS researchers Dennis S. Mapa, Fatima C. Han, and Kristina Claire O. Estrada showed that an increase in food prices in one quarter would raise hunger for five subsequent quarters, while an increase in underemployment would raise it for two quarters .
In 2020, hunger averaged 21 percent, a new annual peak. I see the mushrooming of community pantries as a systemic response of Filipino society to the intense suffering that finally became obvious to all.
