(UPDATE) A MAJORITY of Filipinos support the proposed constitutional amendment on economic reforms, according to the latest survey by Tangere.
The survey, conducted from October 14 to 16, showed that 61.9 percent of the respondents backed the amendments calling for economic reforms.
The figure is significantly higher than the previous month’s.
The survey also highlights varying levels of support across different regions and demographics.
The support was biggest in Northern Luzon and Central Luzon and comparatively lower in Mindanao and the National Capital Region (NCR).
Demographically, respondents ages 26 to 45 were the strongest supporters of the proposed changes.
Filipinos expressed considerable hope that the constitutional amendments would lead to more jobs, lower the cost of goods, and boost economic growth.
The survey also noted several concerns that the government must address to ensure balanced economic growth, such as corruption and competition with foreign businesses.
The survey was made through a mobile-based application, involving a sample size of 1,500 participants with a margin of error of +/- 2.50 percent at a 95 percent confidence level.
The respondents were selected using a stratified random sampling method, ensuring representation: 12 percent from NCR, 23 percent from Northern Luzon, 22 percent from Southern Luzon, 20 percent from the Visayas, and 23 percent from Mindanao.
