President Marcos’ satisfaction and trust ratings continue to rise, while Vice President Sara Duterte's ratings have fallen following her resignation from the Cabinet, based on a Tangere survey conducted from June 18 to 21.

Based on the survey results, President Marcos continued to see positive trends in his satisfaction and trust ratings throughout the second quarter of 2024.

Tangere found that the President’s satisfaction rating increased from 43 percent to 45 percent, while his trust rating increased from 56 percent to 58 percent.

Conversely, his dissatisfaction and distrust ratings decreased by 3 percent and 2 percent, respectively.

President Marcos’ highest satisfaction and trust ratings were observed in Northern and Central Luzon, as well as among respondents aged 26 to 35. 

Meanwhile, dissatisfaction and distrust were more prevalent among respondents in Northern Mindanao, Davao Region, and 45 years old and above. 

Sara’s ratings drop

Following her resignation as secretary of the Department of Education on June 19, Vice President Duterte experienced a marginal decrease in her satisfaction and trust ratings.

Her satisfaction rating dropped from 52 percent to 50 percent, while her trust rating decreased from 60 percent to 58 percent.

Tangere also highlighted a rise in distrust and dissatisfaction toward Duterte during this period, despite her continued strong support base in Mindanao. 

Conversely, dissatisfaction and distrust were more pronounced in Metro Manila, Southern Luzon, and Northern Luzon.

Escudero, Romualdez gain higher ratings

Meanwhile, Senator Francis Escudero, in his first term as Senate President, emerged as the highest-rated top government official in the country. Duterte was the highest-rated official in the previous survey.

Escudero received a satisfaction rating of 51 percent and a trust rating of 60 percent.

The survey also highlighted that dissatisfaction and distrust toward the Senate President are notably lower compared to the other top officials, at 22 percent and 12 percent, respectively.

His highest ratings are concentrated among respondents in Metro Manila, Southern Luzon, and Bicol Region. 

Speaker Martin Romualdez also saw gains in his satisfaction and trust ratings.

His satisfaction rating rose from 43 percent to 45 percent, while his trust rating increased from 54 percent to 55 percent.

The survey also noted a decrease in distrust and dissatisfaction toward the House Speaker during the same period.

Tangere pointed out that the gain in Romualdez’s ratings was particularly propelled by respondents from Northern Luzon, Central Luzon, and Eastern Visayas.

However, distrust and dissatisfaction levels were higher among respondents from Mindanao and those aged 36 to 45.

Gesmundo’s ratings remain stable

In contrast, Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo’s ratings showed minimal change for June 2024 compared to the previous survey.

Tangere noted that the results did not indicate any significant improvement in Gesmundo’s satisfaction and trust ratings, nor awareness and familiarity levels among the public.

The survey was conducted using a mobile-based respondent application with a sample size of 2,000 participants, employing a stratified random sampling or quota-based sampling method.

The respondents were proportionately distributed across the Philippines—12 percent from Metro Manila, 23 percent from Northern Luzon, 22 percent from Southern Luzon, 20 percent from Visayas, and 23 percent from Mindanao.
