PRESIDENT Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.’s approval and trust ratings fell in June as concerns over corruption, the economy and political accountability continued to weigh on public sentiment, according to a survey by PUBLiCUS Asia, Inc. reported by BusinessWorld.
The second-quarter survey showed a decline from previous ratings, reflecting growing dissatisfaction among Filipinos. Respondents cited graft allegations and rising living costs as key factors eroding trust in the administration. Political analysts noted that the ratings slip could impact legislative priorities and public support for ongoing policy reforms.
The survey underscores the challenges facing the Marcos administration as it seeks to maintain public confidence while addressing economic headwinds and governance issues. The results were released ahead of the President's third State of the Nation Address, adding pressure for concrete action on anti-corruption and economic recovery measures.
