THREE OUT OF every 10 Filipino adults, or around 14 million, will migrate today if it was possible for them, as levels of public hopefulness amid uncertain times have dropped to their lowest at 49 percent since July 2002, according to the latest nationwide survey of Pulse Asia Inc.
While 32 percent of the respondents said they were unsure of migrating, they did not rule out the possibility of doing so, the results showed. A slightly bigger number (37 percent) said they would stay in the country.
The survey was conducted from June 24 to July 8, using face-to-face interviews with a multistage probability sample of 1,200 Filipino adults aged 18 years old and above. It had a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points at the 95-percent confidence level.
