GMA News Online reports that Pulse Asia released the results of their Christmas survey on Thursday, December 15. The survey was conducted November 10 to 23, with face-to-face interviews with 1,200 adults.
According to the report, Pulse Asia said, "Despite their continuing economic difficulties this year, optimism is the majority sentiment as regards the coming New Year, with 88 percent of Filipinos saying they will face 2012 with hope." That means, as the survey asserts, "nearly nine of 10 Filipinos will face the year ahead with hope."
Pulse Asia further noted: "Overwhelming majorities in every geographic area (80 to 93 percent) and socio-economic class (85 to 89 percent) express this sentiment. In contrast, less than one in 10 Filipinos (6 percent) will face next year either with apprehension or without hope and without apprehension."
