Masbate city: President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. expressed his appreciation for the increasing public support for him and his administration, stating that it motivates him to work even harder for the country’s progress.
According to Philippines News Agency, this statement came after the Social Weather Stations’ (SWS) survey conducted from June 25 to 29, 2025, revealed a rise in public satisfaction with President Marcos’ performance during the second quarter of the year. Despite emphasizing that his performance should not be solely measured by survey numbers, Marcos conveyed his gratitude for the growing satisfaction among Filipinos with his efforts to enhance their quality of life.
In an interview held in Masbate City, President Marcos remarked, “I have no idea. I don’t look so much at [survey results]. Of course, it’s so nice to know. I did not know about that, but now that you tell me, of course I’m glad that it’s that way.” He further added, “I guess it’s just we just have to keep working. ‘Yun lang (That’s all).”
President Marcos highlighted the significance of delivering tangible progress and providing immediate services to the population. He urged government officials to prioritize their responsibilities towards the nation rather than engaging in politics for personal benefits. He stated, “Whatever is happening, kahit na anong nangyayari, kahit may bagyo, kahit may skandalo, kahit may gulo, ang taumbayan ay umaasa sa pamahalaan na tuloy ang serbisyo, tuloy ang trabaho ng pamahalaan (no matter what happens – whether there’s a typhoon, a scandal, or unrest – the people expect the government to continue its service, to continue its work) at every level, at the national level, at the local level).”
The survey results indicated that 46 percent of adult Filipinos were satisfied with President Marcos’ performance, while 36 percent were dissatisfied and 19 percent remained undecided. This data resulted in a net satisfaction score of ‘moderate’ +10. The poll highlighted a notable 20-point improvement from the ‘poor’ -10 net score recorded in April 2025, effectively reversing the declining trend observed over the preceding three quarters.
