SWS survey: PBBM ‘very good’ on helping disaster victims, improving children’s quality of education, helping the poor



The untiring efforts of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to improve government response and services have paid off, as shown in the latest Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey.

Based on the July SWS survey that came out following the President’s birthday on Sept. 13, the Chief Executive had a “very good” rating on helping victims of disasters, improving the quality of children’s education, and helping less fortunate individuals.

The SWS survey, conducted from June 23 to July 1, showed that 62 percent of adult Filipinos are satisfied with the administration of President Marcos while 22 percent are dissatisfied. It also indicated that 15 percent are undecided.

The survey showed a double-digit increase of +40 in the satisfaction ratings of the Marcos administration, owing to the President’s efforts to improve government response and services.

President Marcos’ satisfaction rating is classified as “good,” which is a significant improvement from his “moderate” rating in March this year.

The President is also rated “good” on implementing housing programs, developing science and technology, creating policies that will generate job opportunities, ensuring an efficient public transportation system, and ensuring food security.

The President’s response to preparing for problems caused by climate change, defending Philippine sovereignty in the West Philippine Sea, and ensuring that no family will ever go hungry received a “moderate” rating.

A “neutral” rating was recorded for President Marcos’ efforts in fighting crimes that victimize ordinary citizens and ensuring that oil companies do not take advantage of oil prices. The survey showed that more efforts are required to eradicate graft and corruption in government and fighting inflation.

President Marcos’ net satisfaction rating showed improvement across all regions, with the highest in Metro Manila, followed by Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

The SWS survey was conducted using face-to-face interviews with 1,500 adults nationwide.
