An SWS survey commissioned by Stratbase conducted among 1,200 Filipino adults across the country from June 25 to 29, 48% expressed a great deal of trust in Marcos, 30% had little trust, and 21% were undecided.

SWS survey showed President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s trust rating increased by 10 percentage points from 38% in May to 48% in June.

Stratbase Group President Prof. Victor Andres “Dindo” Manhit said respondents were asked to assess their level of trust in key government officials using the following categories: very much, somewhat much, undecided if much or little, somewhat little, and very little. The survey has a ±3% margin of error.

Vice President Sara Duterte trust went up by a percentage point from 60% in May to 61% in June. Twenty-three percent had little trust in the Vice President, and 14% were undecided.

Senate President Francis Escudero trust rating increased from 47% in May to 55% in June. Twenty-three percent said they had little trust in Escudero, while 21 percent were undecided in the most recent survey.

Speaker Martin Romualdez’s “much trust” increased from 26% in May to 34% in June. Thirty-four percent also had little trust, while 27% were undecided.

“He must sustain these trust ratings since they are crucial indicators of political stability and governance performance,” Manhit added.
