Summary View help for Summary
The Social Weather Stations Surveys were designed to provide a source of data on Philippine economic and social conditions independent from Philippine governmental statistics. These quarterly surveys cover the entire Philippines with four major geographic study areas: National Capital Region (NCR), Balance Luzon (areas outside of NCR but within Luzon), Visayas, and Mindanao. Adults, aged 18 and older, are asked through face-to-face interviews for their views on issues concerning the general topics of economics, governance, politics, diplomacy, and society, as well as issues of current public interest in the Philippines. The survey also gathers information from household heads about the members of the household and household characteristics. The Social Weather Stations Survey for the third quarter of 1995 was conducted from September 18 to October 21, 1995. Questions on economic issues probed for respondents' feelings about and personal encounters with poverty as well as their views on quality of life trends, taxation, fiscal policies, and personal investments. Questions about governance included ratings of political personalities, assessment of the current administration and government institutions, nuclear testing, presidential and senatorial performance, term limits, memories of President Ferdinand Marcos and martial law, and political party interaction. Questions on diplomacy elicited respondents' views on external security and foreign relations, while societal topics covered the state of the family, agrarian reform, education reform, women's rights, abortion, personal safety, air travel experience, use of iodized salt, and computer use. Background information on respondents includes age, sex, political party, marital status, employment status, education, household composition, home ownership, religion, and household spending patterns.
