PHILSTAR: Marivic Raquiza, co-convenor of Social Watch Philippines, can't understand why the government is raising the budget of a supposed anti-poverty program that has failed to address poverty. "Majority of CCT household-beneficiaries included in the study expressed the belief that access to regular employment is the most important way for them to get out poverty," she said, adding that the government needs to improve rural incomes and creating jobs in the manufacturing sector.
