Malacañang welcomed the recent rise in President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s trust rating, calling it a clear sign of strong public support and confidence in his leadership.
In a Palace briefing, Presidential Communications Undersecretary Claire Castro said the 10-point increase in Marcos Jr.’s trust rating, despite political noise and criticism, shows the public recognizes the administration’s efforts.
“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,” said Castro.
She emphasized that the President remains focused on governance, regardless of survey numbers.
“Uulitin po natin ang numero po ay hindi po magiging factor para sa Pangulo na magpakampante dahil kahit ano pa pong numero ang lumabas sa survey, tuloy-tuloy lang po ang ating Pangulo at ang administrasyon na ito na magsilbi at magtrabaho.”
A Social Weather Stations survey released Monday showed Marcos Jr.’s trust rating rose from 38% in May to 48% in June. It also marked a steady upward trend, up from 36% in April.
To sustain public trust, Acting Communications Secretary Dave Gomez earlier said the administration will enhance its communication strategies, promote press freedom, and pursue digital transformation.IMT
