President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. welcomed the improvement in his trust and performance rating as shown in a latest OCTA survey result.

''It is more na 'yun na lang nakikita na we're really doing our best to alleviate the hardships na dinadaanan ng mga tao,'' Marcos told Palace reporters.

(It is more that it is seen that we’re really doing our best to alleviate the hardships of the people.) 

''So it's good [to] have that kind of result or statistic behind you and again, every time this happens as far as I'm concerned, it seems to be people are beginning to understand what we are trying to do, they're beginning to feel the effects of it,'' he added. 

Marcos vowed that his administration would do more for the country.
