MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on Wednesday said the “very good” satisfaction rating he got in the latest Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey is “encouraging.”

“I don’t really look at surveys kasi… But it’s always encouraging to know that naunawaan ng tao ‘yung aming ginagawa,” he said.

(I don’t really look at surveys but it’s always encouraging to know that the people understand what we’re doing.)

“So we will just keep going and keep everybody informed kung ano’ yung aming ginagawa,” Marcos added.

(So we will just keep going and keep everybody informed on what we’re doing.)

In the December 2022 SWS survey, Marcos got a net satisfaction rating of +68, which means three out of four adult Filipinos are satisfied with his performance.

According to the survey, which was conducted on Dec. 10 to 14 last year, 75% of adult Filipinos are satisfied with the chief executive’s performance, while 7% are dissatisfied and 18% are undecided.

This translates to a net satisfaction rating is +68, which is up by 5 points up +63 in October 2022.

The SWS poll used face-to-face interviews with 1,200 adults nationwide, 300 each from Metro Manila, Balance Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao.
