President Marcos faces strongest disapproval

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. continues to face strong disapproval on the issues Filipinos care about most, with a new survey by Pulse Asia showing two-thirds of adults are unhappy with how his administration handles inflation and increasing workers' wages.

- 

A survey of 1,200 adults found that at least 66% disapprove of how Marcos tackles inflation, the top national concern for 62% of Filipinos. On the issue of workers' wages, which 51% identified as their second-most pressing concern, 48% expressed disapproval of the government's performance.

The survey, conducted from June 26 to 30, assessed Filipinos' most pressing personal and national concerns while also measuring their satisfaction with the Marcos administration's performance in 14 policy areas.

Dissatisfaction with the government's efforts to improve workers' pay rose by nine points compared to the same survey in June 2024, while disapproval over inflation fell from 76% to 66%.
