A Social Weather Stations survey showed 94% of Filipinos welcome the new year with hope. This is despite a turbulent year for the Philippines, which saw massive destruction from the strongest typhoon on record and the biggest corruption scandal in recent history. The finding is a slight increase from 92% recorded in 2013. SWS says New Year hope is “widespread in all areas,” with Luzon being the most hopeful at 97%, followed by the Visayas at 93% and Mindanao at 92%. Based on previous data, Filipinos are more “hopeful” than “fearful” at the end of every year. Since SWS first conducted the survey in 2000, Filipinos’ New Year hope has not gone below 80% with the lowest level ever recorded at 81% in 2004, the year of a turbulent presidential election.
