President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s administration has been doing "all the right moves" to achieve economic transformation for the country, Malacañang said.
In a statement on Tuesday, Nov. 29, Office of the Press Secretary officer-in-charge Cheloy Garafil said this was shown on the ‘Tugon ng Masa’ survey where 85 percent of Filipino adults strongly believe the country is headed in the right direction through the programs and policies of the Marcos administration.
"The ‘Tugon ng Masa’ survey conducted by the OCTA Research and the Manila Bulletin affirms that the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has been doing all the right moves in steering the country to economic transformation from the slump caused by the Covid-19 pandemic," Garafil said.
Six percent, however, think otherwise.
In the survey conducted on on Oct. 23 to 27, Filipino respondents were asked the question: "Based on the policies and programs presented and implemented by the current administration, do you think the country is leading in the right way?"
The survey has 1,200 adult respondents.
Those in the Visayas registered the highest agreement that the country is moving in the right direction, with 91 percent, while 87 percent in Balance Luzon, or Luzon outside Metro Manila, 84 percent in Mindanao, and 70 percent of adult Filipinos in Metro Manila.
Among classes A to E, 79 to 86 percent agree the Philippines is on the right path under the Marcos' leadership.
"It is not an easy task. And the President is determined and committed to making the lives of all Filipinos better, with programs providing job opportunities and ease in doing business, and ensuring food security," Garafil said.
"The President’s call for unity and cooperation is as resounding today as his administration works to fulfill his campaign promises to every Filipino, here and abroad," she added.
