Fewer Filipinos approved of the Marcos administration’s performance in key national issues, with a majority disapproving of its performance in controlling inflation, a recent Pulse Asia survey showed.
Results of the Sept. 10 to 14 survey released on Tuesday, Oct. 3, found that only 16 percent of the respondents approved of the government’s efforts to address the rising cost of basic commodities.In contrast, those who disapproved of the government’s performance in managing inflation increased from 37 percent to 56 percent.
Some 46 percent approved and 16 percent disapproved of the Marcos administration’s performance in terms of addressing involuntary hunger, an issue not included in the June survey. Disapproval of the government’s performance on the said issues ranged from three percent to 12 percent. The rest were undecided.The survey also asked respondents about three issues they believe the national government should urgently address.
Compared to similar surveys conducted during the second Marcos administration, the September survey showed more respondents identifying inflation as among the most urgent national concerns. Meanwhile, according to an official of the Bureau of Plant Industry , President Marcos must continue to head the Department of Agriculture , citing major improvement in the sector under his helm.
“And him being at the helm, he was able to integrate all efforts,” Panganiban said. “With the President there, and with the support we’re receiving from the DA, I think he is doing a great job.”
