Marcos shrugs off low trust rating, calls for reconciliation with Dutertes

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. downplayed a recent Pulse Asia survey showing his trust rating at 32 percent, an increase from April but still lower than Vice President Sara Duterte's 50 percent and former President Rodrigo Duterte's 63 percent.

Marcos told reporters in Manila that he does not want to base assessments on just one survey and emphasized the importance of considering multiple sources before making decisions.

The president also noted his openness to reconciling with the Dutertes without preconditions, stating, 'When you want to reconcile sincerely, let's sit down and address the problem.'

He maintained that he did not order or instruct anyone in Congress to file impeachment complaints against Vice President Duterte.
