Hunger hit a new record high in September with some 3.3 million Filipino families going hungry at least once in the last three months, according to the latest Social Weather Stations survey released Monday.

The SWS survey, conducted from September 24-27, showed that 18.4 percent or 3.3 million families experienced hunger in the past three months. The figure is six points above the ten-year average of 12.3 percent and is the highest in the four quarters after the record-high 21.5 percent in September 2007.
