Pulse Asia survey shows majority critical of Marcos Jr. admin performance

A recent Pulse Asia survey reveals that a majority of Filipino adults are critical of the Marcos Jr. administration's handling of key national issues, with 69% critical of its fight against corruption and 64% critical of its handling of inflation.

Inflation and corruption were identified as the most urgent national concerns by Filipinos, with 54% and 51% respectively.

Significant disapproval ratings were also recorded for the administration's performance in poverty reduction (57%) and its illegal drug crackdown (61%).

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is unfazed by the survey results, with Palace Press Officer Claire Castro stating that the President continues to work hard to combat corruption and that ratings should not be based solely on one survey.

Castro also mentioned that efforts in combating illegal drugs are being addressed, citing intercepted and seized illegal drugs as evidence.
