MANILA, Philippines — Most Filipinos continue to experience stress brought by the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) crisis, results of the special Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey showed.
Only 14 percent felt “little” to “no stress,” which rose slightly from the 11 percent in May.

Those with “great stress” were at 55 percent among those who did not have a job but used to have one and those who never had a job, higher than the 46 percent among those who had jobs.
“Great stress” was highest in Metro Manila and Visayas at 56 percent followed by Luzon outside Metro Manila at 49 percent and Mindanao at 46 percent.
Those who experienced great stress were also highest among junior high school graduates at 58 percent.
