The recent Social Weather Survey (SWS) shows that the Marcos administration continues to enjoy a solid 'good' satisfaction rating among Filipinos. Despite a slight dip from previous months, the administration maintains a net satisfaction rating of +36, indicating positive public sentiment. The survey also reveals regional variations in satisfaction levels and highlights areas where the administration receives high approval ratings.
The Marcos administration maintained a solid but not majority-level satisfaction rating among Filipinos as of December 2024, according to a recent survey. The latest Social Weather Survey ( SWS ) found that 59 percent of adult Filipinos were satisfied with the administration’s overall performance, giving it a net satisfaction rating of +36, which falls under the “good” category.
Although this percentage remained unchanged from September 2024, the net satisfaction score dipped slightly from +40 in June 2024. The rating had previously seen a steep decline from a “very good” +52 in December 2023 to a “moderate” +29 in March 2024. The pollster also revealed that 17 percent of respondents were neutral, while 23 percent expressed dissatisfaction. The notable increase in net satisfaction in Visayas, where the score improved from a “good” +31 to +44, was the primary driver for the rating’s stability from September to December. In Balance Luzon, satisfaction levels remained relatively stable despite a slight dip from +46 to +44. Mindanao, meanwhile, slipped from a “moderate” +23 to +16, while Metro Manila’s rating barely changed, moving from +32 to +31. Rural areas saw a slight decline, going from +42 to +39, while urban areas experienced a marginal improvement, from +31 to +33. Among women, the rating inched up from +33 to +36, whereas it slightly declined among men, from +39 to +35. Young adults aged 18-24 showed the biggest boost in satisfaction, rising from +38 to +43. However, ratings dropped among those aged 45-54, from +36 to +28. Other age groups saw minor shifts, with 25-34-year-olds increasing from +36 to +37, 35-44-year-olds dipping from +38 to +36, and those 55 and older staying relatively stable between +36 and +37. Out of 17 key governance areas assessed in the survey, the Marcos admin received a “very good” rating for helping disaster victims, improving children’s education, assisting the poor, developing job policies, and advancing science and technology. The Philippine Statistics Authority reported Thursday that the economy grew by 5.2 percent in the fourth quarter of 2024, as the farm sector, battered by consecutive typhoons, contracted. (See: The government scored a “good” rating on housing programs, food security, public transport efficiency, disaster preparedness, climate change response, transparency, and defending the West Philippine Sea. It received a “moderate” rating for efforts to ensure no family goes hungry, while it was rated “neutral” on crime prevention, preventing oil companies from overpricing, and fighting corruption. The SWS survey was conducted from December 12 to 18, with respondents distributed as follows: 13 percent from Metro Manila, 45 percent from Balance Luzon, 19 percent from Visayas, and 23 percent from Mindanao.
