“Kahit na ano ang nangyari… ang taumbayan ay umaasa sa pamahalaan na tuloy ang serbisyo.”
A Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey for the second quarter of 2025 showed that close to half or 46 percent of Filipinos were satisfied with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s performance, up from 38 percent in April.
President Marcos expressed surprise at his improved satisfaction rating, remaining focused on governance and serving the people.
In a media interview on Wednesday during his visit to Masbate to distribute assistance to one of the areas hardest hit by Typhoon Opong, President Marcos said public service would continue despite any controversies.
“I guess we just have to keep working. Whatever is happening, kahit na ano ang nangyari, kahit may bagyo, kahit may iskandalo, kahit may gulo, ang taumbayan ay umaasa sa pamahalaan na tuloy ang serbisyo, tuloy ang trabaho ng pamahalaan at every level- at the national level, at the local level, na tuloy-tuloy lang,” the President told the media who sought his comment on his improved ratings.
The SWS survey, conducted from June 25 to 29 and released on Tuesday, showed a net satisfaction rating of +10, computed from the 46 percent satisfied minus the 36 percent dissatisfied.
The President’s +10 net satisfaction rating in June was a 20-point increase from the -10 rating in April.
President Marcos said he was not aware of the survey but appreciated the people’s recognition of the government’s efforts to address their needs.
“You know what? I have no idea. I don’t look so much at the (survey). It’s, of course, nice to note. I didn’t know about that. But now that you tell me, of course, I’m glad that it’s that way. I guess we just have to keep working,” the President said.
President Marcos emphasized that the entire government is working to ensure that public servants, elected by the people, are committed to easing the daily burden of the Filipino people.
“Kaming mga public servant, kaming mga hinalal ng taumbayan ay dapat nakikita na hindi naglalaro, na kung ano-ano ginagawa, namumulitika, whatever, basta’t nagtratrabaho lang para makapagserbisyo sa tao,” said the President. | PND
