|October 17, 2025
President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. said his administration is working continuously to earn and maintain the trust and confidence of the Filipino people by listening to their concerns and focusing on what truly matters to them.
In an interview in Malacañang, the President said public support must continually be earned, adding that responsiveness to citizens’ needs remains a central part of his administration’s governance approach.
“Kung may reklamo, bukas naman kami. Sige magreklamo kayo, sabihin ninyo sa amin (If there are complaints, we’re open. Go ahead and tell us). If it’s something that we have to attend to...because we try to listen to everyone,” he said.
He added that the administration’s ability to keep public trust depends on its willingness to engage different groups and address their issues directly.
