Palace welcomes Marcos' improved trust rating

Malacañang on Tuesday welcomed the recent SWS survey indicating an increase in the trust rating of President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr.

Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said the President’s trust rating grew despite political noise and attempts to discredit his administration. She said the respondents of the survey had clearly seen what Marcos is doing for the country.

“Kahit na sobrang panggigiba sa kanya ng mga obstructionists na ito na walang magawa kundi manira nang manira at hindi makita ang magagandang trabaho ng Pangulo, sa ating palagay ‘yung mga taong mga respondents dito na siyang naging parte ng survey na ito ay nakita nila kung ano ba ang ginagawa ng Pangulo at ng administrasyon,” Castro said.

(Even though these obstructionists are so destructive to him that they can do nothing but destroy and destroy and not see the good work of the President, we think that the respondents here who were part of this survey saw what the President and the administration are doing.)

She added that the public recognizes the administration’s initiatives and programs that are aimed at improving the lives of Filipinos.

“Masaya na nakikita na po ng taumbayan ang ginagawa ng administrasyon,” Castro said.

(I'm happy that the people are seeing what the administration is doing.)

Marcos' trust rating increased by 10 percentage points from 38% in May to 48% in June, an SWS survey commissioned by Stratbase showed.

According to the survey conducted among 1,200 Filipino adults, 48% expressed a great deal of trust in the President, while 30% had little trust and 21% were undecided.

The respondents were asked to assess their level of trust in key government officials using the following categories: very much, somewhat much, undecided if much or little, somewhat little, and very little.

The survey has a ±3% margin of error. — BAP, GMA Integrated News
