But the Vice President's ratings still remain slightly lower than those of her erstwhile ally and now political foe, President Marcos, who saw his trust and satisfaction ratings decline in the latest poll.

The "Tugon ng Masa" survey, conducted from April 2 to 5, saw Marcos' trust ratings drop five points to 60 percent, from 65 percent in November 2024.

Those who distrusted him significantly increased from 12 percent to 23 percent, while undecided respondents decreased from 24 percent to 18 percent.

Meanwhile, satisfaction with the performance of the President dropped from 64 percent to 59 percent.

His dissatisfaction rating increased from 13 percent to 20 percent, while those who were undecided slightly dropped from 23 percent to 20 percent.

It was a different case for the younger Duterte, who saw her trust rating increase by nine points, from 49 percent in November 2024 to 58 percent this month.

Distrust with the Vice President dropped from 28 percent to 19 percent, while undecided respondents remained almost the same at 22 percent, from 23 percent in the previous OCTA survey.

Her satisfaction rating also improved, from 48 percent to 56 percent, while dissatisfaction dropped from 29 percent to 20 percent. The 23 percent were undecided, similar to the previous poll.
