Owing to our religiosity, sunny disposition and resilient nature, most of us are predisposed to welcome 2024 with much optimism. The poll results from Pulse Asia and Social Weather Stations (SWS) show that a majority does not fear the coming New Year.

An earlier SWS survey disclosed that the quality of life worsened for 30 percent of Filipinos in the past 12 months.
