Marcos says latest SWS survey encourages him to do better

President Ferdiand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. on Friday welcomed the latest survey showing that 59% of Filipinos are satisfied with the Marcos administration, saying this encourages him to do better at his job.
"Of course, it’s very encouraging. Siyempre lalakas ang loob namin para patibayin pa, pagandahin pa namin ang trabaho namin," Marcos said in an ambush interview in Pasay City.
(It will boost us to do better at our jobs.)
"It’s always good to see that what we are doing is reaching most, the majority of people at nararamdaman naman nila ‘yung mga aming ginagawa," he said.
(They feel what we have been doing in the government.)
A survey conducted in December 2024 by the Social Weather Stations showed
that the present administration has a net satisfaction rating of “good” +36 in the December polls (59% satisfied minus 23% dissatisfied).
This is the same rating obtained by the administration in September last year, but a decline from the “good” +40 in June 2024, the SWS noted.
Further, 17% are neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, and 23% are dissatisfied with the general performance of the national government.
The non-commissioned survey conducted from December 12 to 18, 2024 used face-to-face interviews with 2,160 adults nationwide: 1,080 in Balance Luzon (or Luzon outside Metro Manila), and 360 each in Metro Manila, the Visayas, and Mindanao.
The survey also had sampling error margins of ±2% for national percentages, ±3.0% for Balance Luzon, and ±5% each for Metro Manila, the Visayas, and Mindanao, SWS said. — BAP, GMA Integrated News
