Bagong Alyansang Makabayan on Wednesday criticized the government's new individual threshold of P64 for three daily meals to not be considered " food poor " in the country." NEDA should try living on P64 per day for food for a year, before coming up with conclusions that such an amount does not make a person food poor . The Marcos regime is so out of touch with reality," Bayan secretary general Renato Reyes said in a statement.
Balisacan said they are only changing the threshold based on inflation so they can monitor if the policies of the government on poverty are effective."The reason we are keeping it constant, in real terms after adjusting for inflation, is just to ensure that we are tracking properly the changes and allow us to understand whether our policies, our programs are working insofar as these are able to reduce poverty," he said.
