Palace says Marcos Jr. remains dedicated despite trust rating dip

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. remains dedicated to his work despite a recent drop in his trust rating, according to a Palace official.

Palace Press Officer Claire Castro stated that Marcos Jr. is perceived as a hardworking leader actively combating corruption.

Castro emphasized that the President is tirelessly working to enhance the lives of Filipinos, even amidst ongoing calamities.

While acknowledging that the President does not focus on survey numbers, she expressed happiness that citizens feel the government's presence and support.

She also suggested that the public is increasingly discerning between leaders genuinely working for their welfare and those pursuing personal agendas.

The Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey, conducted from September 24-30 with 1,200 adult respondents, showed Marcos Jr.'s trust rating dipping to 43 percent from 48 percent in June.

This decline occurred shortly after widespread anti-corruption protests were ignited by allegations of corruption in flood-control projects.
