Pump attendants serve motorists in a gasoline station along Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City on Friday, June 20, 2025. Motorists are advised of a significant fuel price hike next week, with increases driven by escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, particularly the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel. Gasoline prices are expected to rise by ₱2.50 to ₱3.20 per liter; diesel, ₱4.30 to ₱4.80 per liter and kerosene, ₱4.25 to ₱4.40 per liter. Meanwhile, passengers wait in line as jeepneys ply through the roads of Pasay City on June 20, 2025. The LTFRB has announced that a P1 peso fare hike may be implemented next week due to the consecutive increases in fuel prices. PHOTOS BY ISMAEL DE JUAN AND J. GERARD SEGUIA

Shanties occupy a portion of the Manila Bay shoreline at the Baseco Compound in Manila as seen in a photo on Aug. 13, 2025. OCTA Research Group released its latest survey results, where an estimated 11.9 million Filipino families considered themselves poor. The survey, conducted from July 12 to 17, found that the country’s self-rated poverty rose to 45 percent, up from 42 percent in April. OCTA said the three-point increase in self-rated poverty translated to 800,000 more poor families, from 11.1 million in April to 11.9 million in July. Nationwide self-rated poverty levels have remained broadly stable, but high rates persist in Mindanao. PHOTO MIKE ALQUINTO
