Now for an anomaly:
In 2012, Filipino families had an annual income of 235 thousand pesos, on average. https://psa.gov.ph/..-results-2012
This is however 2 years later, but still raises a question, especially as the 2009 report stated:
“Filipino families earned 206 thousand pesos yearly, on the average, according to the 2009 Family Income and Expenditure Survey” https://psa.gov.ph/old/data/pressrelease/2011/ie09frtx.html
How does an Average Household Income 40,836 pesos in 2010 equate to an average Family Income of 206,000 in 2009 and 235,000 in 2012?
And is a figure of just 4 million employed sound right out of 92 million population, with an unemployment rate of only 6.4%?
