00:0065% of Filipinos are hoping for a Merry Christmas, according to a survey.
00:09And when it comes, more than the rain, the bonding for some is broken.
00:14Just like the budget.
00:16On the other hand, many are still thankful.
00:19Your voice, let's listen to the speech of Danutin Cugo.
00:24Just a few hours and the Christmas is over.
00:27The occasion has been waiting and preparing for a few months.
00:31How's your Christmas?
00:33I'm happy because we are together, family.
00:37In the family of my husband.
00:40No, I'm not happy because it's raining.
00:42I don't know why it's raining.
00:44I don't have an umbrella.
00:45It's a good thing I don't have an umbrella.
00:49How did you celebrate Christmas?
00:51How did you celebrate Christmas?
00:52It's simple.
00:53We met, we cooked a little, that's all.
00:57It's just right, sir.
00:58I'm happy because we are safe, sir.
01:02It's a bit sad.
01:03A lot of things are happening.
01:05It's the first time that I can be with my partner.
01:08But at the same time, it's sad because it's far from the family because they need to work.
01:12Their answers are based on the poll asked by Social Weather Stations on December 12 to 18.
01:19Based on the Social Weather Station survey, 65% of 2160 said they are hoping for a happier Christmas,
01:28lower than the 73% in 2023 and 2022.
01:33In the survey, 10% said they know their Christmas won't be happy,
01:39while the remaining 26% said it's just right, not happy, not sad.
01:44To our questions, the answers are the same on what became the obstacle to their happiness this Christmas.
01:50Their top answer is the lack of budget.
01:54It's a shame.
01:55No one is giving.
01:58Life is hard.
02:00Don't ask me because I don't know what to give you.
02:06It's almost like that.
02:08I was able to fit in somehow.
02:10But it's still like, let's just fight for life.
02:15There's no way back.
02:16Did you vote?
02:17No, I didn't vote.
02:19Don't vote because if you vote, how will it be tomorrow, how will it be later, right?
02:23What did you discard?
02:27That's up to me.
02:29In terms of expenses, that's what we're worried about right now.
02:36If we buy now, we'll know that it's increasing.
02:39We don't need to be stingy because we can't keep losing money.
02:45On the other hand, it came out in the survey that many Filipinos are still thankful for Christmas and the new year.
02:52That's a sign of good health, family, life, and having a job.

03:29A cancer survivor is also thankful for his recovery.
03:33He has hair now after going under chemotherapy.
