2. Current Household Profile
Majority of the EJK victims belong to extended households which are not well-off, some in
dire financial situations. The estimated monthly household incomes of the women
interviewed ranged from PhP 5,000 to PhP 48,000. This income is inclusive of the
contributions of household members, financial support from family and relatives who do
not live with them (e.g. remittances from overseas Filipino workers) and subsidies (e.g.
Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program or 4Ps). Twenty-two women (47.8%) estimated
their household monthly income at not more than PhP 10,000.
One woman did not specify their monthly household income, only said that it is “above
average”. Her family owns a popular restaurant in their town.
