Corruption, inflation still top worries under Marcos
Business World Philippines
|July 14, 2025
FILIPINOS continue to view corruption, economic management and inflation as the most urgent issues that President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. must address, according to the latest survey by research firm Publicus Asia.
The survey results, released on Sunday, showed that 21% of respondents cited corruption as their top concern — keeping its lead for the fourth straight quarter since the third quarter of 2024.
Concerns about the economy and inflation followed at 11% each, while poverty ranked next at 9%. Education and illegal drugs were tied at 7%, registering as the least urgent issues for most respondents.
"The latest survey underscores the public’s continuing demand for economic relief, anti-corruption reforms and opportunities, while also revealing nuanced concerns shaped by region, age, and socioeconomic status," Publicus said in a statement.
