The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) will not rest on its laurels after getting high trust and performance ratings in a recent survey conducted by polling firm Octa Research.
AFP Chief, General Romeo Brawner Jr. welcomed the results of the “Tugon ng Masa” fourth quarter survey by Octa Research which showed that the AFP was one of the most trusted and top-performing government agencies in 2023.
“The result of the OCTA Research Fourth Quarter 2023 Tugon ng Masa Survey is an affirmation of the hard work and dedicated service of every soldier, airman, sailor, and marine in the performance of our mandate to the Filipino people,” Brawner said on Monday, March 11.
The military chief urged the officers, enlisted personnel and civilian human resource of the AFP to “continue working hard for the country,” and remain united and professional at all times.
“We will continue to fight to protect our people and our sovereignty,” he promised.
Last week, Octa research revealed the results of its latest survey conducted from December 10 to 14, 2023 which showed that 86 percent of adult Filipinos were satisfied with the military’s performance and 87 percent trusted them.
The public’s awareness of the AFP also reached a universal mark of 100 percent among adult Filipinos, increasing from 89 percent in October 2023.
The non-commissioned survey involved 1,200 respondents with a margin of error of plus/minus three percent.
