Palace says survey results not reflective of Marcos’ real work amid dip in ratings
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. during the final walkthrough at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) ahead of the ASEAN summit. PCO/FacebookMANILA — Malacañang on Wednesday dismissed a new survey result showing dipping trust and performance rating of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., saying that it is not reflective of his real work.
An OCTA Research result released Wednesday showed Marcos trust rating fell from 49 percent in July to 45 percent in September while his performance rating dropped from 47 percent to 44 percent.
“Ang survey results ay numero na nagbibigay ng mga paalala pero hindi ito nagpapakita ng tunay na ginagawang trabaho ng Pangulo para sa ating mga kababayan,” Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said in a statement Wednesday, November 11.
Castro argued that the individuals across sectors who have directly benefitted from government services may not be included in the survey.
“Ang mga tao na naabot na ng gobyerno tulad ng mga magsasaka, mga pasyenteng nakaranas ng zero balance billing sa mga hospital ay maaaring hindi nakasama sa mga survey kaya iba iba ang numerong lumalabas sa mga survey,” she stated.
The Palace official maintained that any survey will not affect the chief executive in fulfilling his mandate.
“Dahil ang mga nagbago ang kondisyon sa Walang Gutom program ay maganda ang nabigay na numero. Anumang numero ang lumabas ay hindi magpapatigil at magpapatinag sa ating pangulo sa pagtatrabaho,” Castro stated.
