The current public health crisis brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic has
disrupted all aspects of society, particularly income and employment. The unemployment
rate rose, leaving millions of Filipinos jobless. The quarantine and stringent social

Zoleta Cited (2020) that when the time of COVID-19 pandemic and the government-
imposed lockdown, low-income families have been receiving relief goods and cash aid as
prioritized. On the other hand, other social classes such as middle-class households

socioeconomic status or standing within the society based on the level of income,
education, and occupation. Social classes in the Philippines range from low to high and
often reveal inequalities in terms of power, influence, and access to resources. Social
class is more than just about how much money you’re making. It’s important to
understand the three primary social classes exist in the Philippines: the low-income class,
socio-economic policy, notes that the low-income class has a bigger share of the

population because they tend to have larger families than other social classes. The middle
class is further classified into lower, middle, and upper middle-income classes. In
between the poor and the middle class is another social class called the low-income class
—they’re not middle class but not considered poor. And then there’s the upper-income
class in between the middle class and the rich. Although people in this social class make
six-digit figures monthly, they’re not considered among the elite group of the wealthiest
in the Philippines.
For policy-making and public service purposes, the Philippine government looks
at the per capita income (in relation to the poverty threshold) to classify the income level
of its citizens and to assess their standard of living. The current official poverty threshold
in the Philippines is PHP 10,481, which is the minimum amount a family of five needs in
a month to buy their basic food and non-food items. If your family income is higher than
the poverty threshold, the government doesn’t consider you poor. Your guess might not
When talking about income inequality in the Philippines, the discussion would
always focus on the poor vs. rich divide. Social classes range from low to high and often
There are three primary social classes exist in the Philippines: the low-income
class, the middle-income class, and the high-income class. The latest Family Income and
Expenditure Survey by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) shows that majority
(58.4%) of Filipinos belong to the low-income class, while the middle class comprises
around 40% of the population. Only 1.4% falls in the high-income class.

The current public health crisis brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic has
disrupted all aspects of society, particularly income and employment. The unemployment
rate rose to 17.7% in April, leaving 7.3 million Filipinos jobless. According to the World
Bank, the two-month loss of income could increase the poverty rate by 3.3 percentage
Like many countries, the Philippines have implemented cash transfer programs to
support the displaced and the vulnerable. The government was quick to enact a law to
alleviate the public health crisis. Among the most salient features of the Bayanihan to
Heal as One Act was the allocation of P199.975 billion to the Department of Social
Welfare and Development (DSWD) to fund its Social Amelioration Program (SAP).

marginalized sectors of society the means to afford basic needs during the pandemic.
Much like any new program, the implementation of SAP has not been smooth-
sailing. Many LGUs have reported issues with coming up with the list of beneficiaries,
and releasing the cash subsidy due to insufficient funds or inadequate distribution
infrastructure. Some have also criticized the speed with which the subsidies are rolled
out, the uncertainty with regard to the recipients of the subsidies, and the exact amount
Apart from the database of the DSWD and other implementing agencies, the local
government units (LGUs) will also submit their list of families in need of cash assistance
To build their list, the LGUs through the Barangays will distribute Social
Amelioration Cards (SAC) for each family. Each household head should fill it up
properly. This will be the DSWD's basis for validating if a family that's not in their
