Good day!
We, at GMA Integrated News Research, are gathering information on Filipino income groups and how much they're earning.
In the course of our research, we found this PIDS study entitled
"Poverty, the Middle Class, and Income Distribution amid COVID-19" by Jose Ramon G. Albert, Michael Ralph M. Abrigo, Francis Mark A. Quimba, and Jana Flor V. Vizmanos
May we request updated information re: from Table 7 showing income groups, definitions and range of monthly incomes?
Thank you very much.
