MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on Wednesday vowed to continue working after he received high approval ratings in the latest survey from Pulse Asia.
Marcos got 78 percent approval rating with only five percent of the 1,200 respondents interviewed from March 15 to 19 disapproved of his performance for the first seven months that he was President.
Meanwhile, Vice President Sara Duterte received an 83 percent approval rating with only four percent dissatisfied with her service.
“Tunay na nakatataba ng puso ang patuloy na pagmamahal at pagtitiwala na ibinibigay ng taumbayan sa amin ni VP @indaysaraduterte,” Marcos said in his social media posts.
(The continued trust and love of the public for me and the Vice President is truly heartwarming.)
“Asahan po ninyong malayo ang mararating ng inyong suporta, lalo na at pundasyon ito ng tagumpay ng mga programang ating inilalaan para sa ikauunlad ng bawat Pilipino,” he added.
(Be assured that your support will come a long way, especially since this is the foundation of the success of the programs we will implement to uplift the lives of every Filipino.)
Tunay na nakatataba ng puso ang patuloy na pagmamahal at pagtitiwala na ibinibigay ng taumbayan sa amin ni VP @indaysara.
